Mechanistic Constraints on ClpM Expression Underlie Apicoplast Genome Retention in Malaria Parasites

Alia Qasem, Shirly Katz Galay, Aseel Ghanaeim, Hari Shankar, Michal Shahar, Anat Florentin

This study investigates why the ClpM gene remains in the apicoplast genome of malaria parasites, finding that it is constrained by evolutionary, sequence, and translational factors.

A Chaperonin Complex Regulates Organelle Proteostasis in Malaria Parasites

Amanda Tissawak, Yarden Rosin, Shirly Katz Galay, Alia Qasem, Michal Shahar, Nirit Trabelsi, Ora Schueler‐Furman, Steven M. Johnson, Anat Florentin

This paper identifies a chaperonin complex in malaria parasites that regulates apicoplast proteostasis and shows its potential as an antimalarial drug target.
