Acyl Carrier Protein is Essential for Apicoplast Biogenesis in Malaria Parasites Independent of Fatty Acid Synthesis

Sage WR Geher, Seyi Falekun, Jessica N. Pita-Aquino…·Paul A. Sigala

This study shows that Acyl Carrier Protein (ACP) is essential for apicoplast biogenesis in blood-stage P. falciparum malaria parasites, independent of its role in fatty acid synthesis.
