Characterization of the autophagy marker protein Atg8 reveals atypical features of autophagy in Plasmodium falciparum.
Conventional autophagy is a lysosome-dependent degradation process that has crucial homeostatic and regulatory functions in eukaryotic organisms. As malaria parasites must dispose a number of self and host cellular contents, we investigated if autophagy in malaria parasites is similar to the convent...
