    Purine and pyrimidine metabolism in the Trypanosomatidae.

    Hammond DJ, Gutteridge WE.

    Abstract

    The pathways leading to purine and pyrimidine nucleotide production in members of the family Trypanosomatidae are discussed with special emphasis on data relating to pathogenic species published from 1974 to 1983 inclusive. Trypanosomes and leishmania in general lack a de novo purine biosynthetic pathway, but have a multiplicity of possible routes for purine salvage. In contrast, pyrimidine nucleotides can be produced by either de novo or salvage pathways. The properties of these pathways in trypanosomatids are compared and contrasted with those of their hosts.
