Methionine aminopeptidase 2 is a key regulator of apoptotic like cell death in Leishmania donovani

Abstract We investigate the role of methionine aminopeptidase 2 (MAP2) in miltefosine induced programmed cell death (PCD) in promastigote form of L. donovani. We report that TNP-470, an inhibitor of MAP2, inhibits programmed cell death in miltefosine treated promastigotes. It inhibits the biochemica...
