Protein trafficking to the plastid of Plasmodium falciparum is via the secretory pathway.

The EMBO journal - 17 Apr 2000

Waller R F, Reed M B, Cowman A F, McFadden G I

Abstract excerpt

The plastid of Plasmodium falciparum (or 'apicoplast') is the evolutionary homolog of the plant chloroplast and represents a vestige of a photosynthetic past. Apicoplast indispensability indicates that it still provides essential functions to parasites. Similar to plant chloroplasts, the apicoplast is dependent on many nucleus-encoded genes to provide these functions. The apicoplast is surrounded by four...
