A PROPPIN links V-ATPase assembly to endocytic membrane dynamics in malaria parasites

Yasmin Schmitz, Moumita Sengupta, Carola Schneider, Tanja Ziesmann, Franziska Hellmold, Ute Distler, Rudolph Reimer, Joachim Michael Matz

This study identifies PfATG18 as a regulator of vacuolar membrane dynamics in malaria parasites, linking V-ATPase assembly to endocytic processes and drug resistance.

Redefining the role of the Plasmodium heme detoxification protein: From hemozoin formation to mitochondrial protein synthesis

Louis Sarrazin, Melissa R. Rosenthal, Joachim Kloehn, Tanja Ziesmann, Yasmin Schmitz, Anna-Lena Sandtmann, Robert Domenech-Eres, Katharina Scholz-Höhn, Coralie Boulet, Ute Distler, Daniel E. Goldberg, Joachim Michael Matz

This study shows that the Plasmodium heme detoxification protein (HDP) is essential for mitochondrial protein biosynthesis, not hemozoin formation, and its loss disrupts mitochondrial function and parasite survival.
