Localization of the putative recombinase Pf-int to the apicoplast of <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i>

2021-10-12

Abstract excerpt

Diseases caused by apicomplexan parasites, such as malaria and toxoplasmosis cause ∼200 million (worldwide) and 1 million (Europe) infections, respectively, every year. Apicomplexa possess a non-photosynthetic organelle homologous to the plant chloroplast, the so-called apicoplast, that is essential for their growth and survival. This study focused on the Int recombinase, the first protein discovered in Plasmodiu...
