Schematic representation of transport processes involved in uptake of hexoses in Plasmodium-infected erythrocytes (A) and predicted topology of PfHT (B). EPM, erythrocyte plasma membrane; PVM, parasitophorous vacuole membrane; PPM, parasite plasma membrane; GLUT1, mammalian glucose transporter; GLUT5, mammalian fructose transporter; NPP, new permeability pathways (do not contribute significantly to the uptake of glucose [62]). B. Predicted topology of PfHT [18].
