CaaX-like protease of cyanobacterial origin is required for complex plastid biogenesis in malaria parasites

2020-06-03

Abstract excerpt

Plasmodium parasites and related apicomplexans contain an essential “complex plastid” organelle of secondary endosymbiotic origin, the apicoplast. Biogenesis of this complex plastid poses a unique challenge requiring evolution of new cellular machinery. We previously conducted a mutagenesis screen for essential apicoplast biogenesis genes to discover organellar pathways with evolutionary and biomedical significanc...
