“…PfGyrA is also essential for the structural integrity of the apicoplast (Goodman and McFadden, 2013;Nagano et al, 2014;Milton and Nelson, 2016;. Resistance selection for epirubicin in Saccharomyces cerevisiae resulted in downregulation of alg7, which encodes for the dolichol phosphate N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase (Ferreira Letıćia et al, 2020). Since P. falciparum has a homologous alg7 gene that is thought to be essential, epirubicin is speculated to interfere with protein glycosylation in P. falciparum (Zhang et al, 2018;Böhme et al, 2019;Chappell et al, 2020).…”
