An ambiguous N-terminus drives the dual targeting of an antioxidant protein Thioredoxin peroxidase (TgTPx1/2) to endosymbiotic organelles in Toxoplasma gondii
Toxoplasma gondii harbors two endosymbiotic organelles: a relict plastid, the apicoplast, and a mitochondrion. The parasite expresses an antioxidant protein, thioredoxin peroxidase 1/2 (TgTPx1/2), that is dually targeted to these organelles. Nuclear-encoded proteins such as TgTPx1/2 are trafficked t...
