PFCLPC IS AN ESSENTIAL CLP CHAPERONE REQUIRED FOR PLASTID INTEGRITY AND CLP PROTEASE STABILITY IN PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM

PfClpC Is an Essential Clp Chaperone Required for Plastid Integrity and Clp Protease Stability in Plasmodium falciparum

Summary: The deadly malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum contains a nonphotosynthetic plastid, known as the apicoplast, that functions to produce essential metabolites, and drugs that target the apicoplast are clinically effective.Several prokaryotic Collections caseinolytic protease (Clp) genes have been identified in the Plasmodium genome.Using
