Autophagy-Related Protein ATG18 Regulates Apicoplast Biogenesis in Apicomplexan Parasites

Mechanisms by which 3′-phosphorylated phosphoinositides (3′-PIPs) regulate the development of apicomplexan parasites Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii are poorly understood. The catabolic process of autophagy, which is dependent on autophagy-related proteins (ATGs), is one of the major tar...
