Vesicles bearing Toxoplasma apicoplast membrane proteins persist following loss of the relict plastid or Golgi body disruption.
Toxoplasma gondii and malaria parasites contain a unique and essential relict plastid called the apicoplast. Most apicoplast proteins are encoded in the nucleus and are transported to the organelle via the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Three trafficking routes have been proposed for apicoplast membran...
