The evolution, metabolism and functions of the apicoplast
Liting Lim,Geoffrey I. McFadden +1 more
TL;DR: In an attempt to decipher the role of the organelle within the parasite, a closer look is taken at the transporters decorating the plastid to better understand the metabolic exchanges between the apicoplast and the rest of the parasite cell.

Development of the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondrion and apicoplast during the asexual life cycle of Plasmodium falciparum
Giel G. van Dooren,Matthias Marti,Christopher J. Tonkin,Luciana M. Stimmler,Alan F. Cowman,Geoffrey I. McFadden +5 more
TL;DR: The morphology of three organelles (endoplasmic reticulum, apicoplast and mitochondrion) through the human blood stages of the parasite life cycle is described using fluorescent reporter proteins fused to organelle targeting sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic maps and functions of the Plasmodium mitochondrion
TL;DR: This review utilizes data available from the Plasmodium falciparum genome sequencing project to piece together putative metabolic pathways that occur in the parasite, comparing this with the existing biochemical and cell biological knowledge.

Cell division in apicomplexan parasites
Maria E. Francia,Boris Striepen +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the centrosome is a master regulator that physically tethers cellular components and that provides spatial and temporal control of apicomplexan cell division.
