Toxoplasma LIPIN is essential in channeling host lipid fluxes through membrane biogenesis and lipid storage

Apicomplexa generate essential lipids as combination of host fatty acids and de novo synthesized within the apicoplast. Here, the authors identify a phosphatidic acid phosphatase in Toxoplasma gondii, TgLIPIN, as central for controlled lipid synthesis and define the host-scavenged lipidome.
