Two apicoplast dwelling glycolytic enzymes provide key substrates for metabolic pathways in the apicoplast and are critical for Toxoplasma growth.
Many apicomplexan parasites harbor a non-photosynthetic plastid called the apicoplast, which hosts important metabolic pathways like the methylerythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway that synthesizes isoprenoid precursors. Yet many details in apicoplast metabolism are not well understood. In this study...
