SDPM and CDP-choline pathways for phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis in P. falciparum. The cytidine diphosphate (CDP)-choline pathway is shown in gray. The SDPM pathway is represented in black. Cho: choline; HB: hemoglobin; Ser: serine; Etn: ethanolamine; CDP-Etn: CDP-ethanolamine; CDP-cho: CDP-choline; SD: serine decarboxylase; PfEK: P. falciparum ethanolamine kinase; PfCK: P. falciparum choline kinase; PfPMT: P. falciparum phosphoethanolamine methyltransferase; PtdEtn: phosphatidylethanolamine; PtdCho: phosphatidylcholine; PfCEPT: P. falciparum choline/ethanolamine-phosphate transferase; PfECT: P. falciparum CTP: phosphoethanolamine cytidylyltransferase; PfCCT: P. falciparum CTP: phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase.
