Biogenesis of cytochromes <i>c</i> and <i>c</i> <sub>1</sub> in the electron transport chain of malaria parasites

2024-02-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Plasmodium malaria parasites retain an essential mitochondrional electron transport chain (ETC) that is critical for growth within humans and mosquitoes and a key antimalarial drug target. ETC function requires cytochromes c and c 1 that are unusual among heme proteins due to their covalent binding to heme via conserved CXXCH sequence motifs. Heme attachment to these proteins in most eukaryote...
