Phenotypical characterization of novel apicoplast membrane proteins in Toxoplasma gondii

Abstract As a critical organelle in Toxoplasma gondii, an important zoonotic pathogen, the apicoplast plays a vital role in survival by hosting essential metabolic pathways. Its unique four-membrane structure provides both stability and a relatively independent metabolic compartment. To identify pre...
