Trypanosome metabolism of myristate, the fatty acid required for the variant surface glycoprotein membrane anchor

The trypanosome variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) is anchored to the outer leaflet of the parasite plasma membrane by a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI). The VSG anchor is unique among GPIs in containing exclusively dimyristoylglycerol as its lipid moiety. Myristate is incorporated into the anch...
