Abstract excerpt
Chlamydiales and Rickettsiales as metabolically impaired, intracellular pathogenic bacteria essentially rely on "energy parasitism" by the help of nucleotide transporters (NTTs). Also in plant plastids NTT-type carriers catalyze ATP/ADP exchange to fuel metabolic processes. The uptake of ATP4-, followed by energy consumption and the release of ADP3-, would lead to a metabolically disadvantageous accumulation of...
