malfunction |
RNAi-mediated depletion of TbSPPS leads to severe growth inhibition. Ablation of TbSPPS by RNAi will decrease the function of the glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle, which is cured by application of glycerol. The viability of the BSF cells is compromised upon RNAi induction, phenotype overview. Addition of ubiquinone to the medium alleviates the effect of RNAi-mediated depletion of TbSPPS |
