High impact information on pss

  • This suggests the occurrence in microsporidia of a bacteria- and fungi-typical pathway for phospholipid synthesis, which is supported by the identification of two genes implicated in this pathway, the cds gene encoding the key enzyme CDP-diacylglycerol synthase (E.C. 2.7.7.41) and the pss gene for CDP-alcohol phosphatidyltransferase [1].
  • The pss gene could encode phosphatidylserine synthase (E.C. 2.7.8.8.), which catalyses the de novo synthesis of phosphatidylserine in bacteria and fungi [1].
