Structure-function relationship for a divergent Atg8 protein required for a non-autophagic function in malaria parasites

M. Walczak, T. R. Meister, Y. Zhu, E. Yeh

This paper investigates the structure-function relationship of PfAtg8, a divergent Atg8 protein in malaria parasites, showing that its non-autophagic function in apicoplast inheritance does not rely on canonical Atg8 interaction domains.

Atg8 is essential specifically for an autophagy-independent function in apicoplast biogenesis in blood-stage malaria parasites

M. Walczak, S. M. Ganesan, J. C. Niles, E. Yeh

This study shows that Atg8 is essential for apicoplast biogenesis in malaria parasites, specifically for its segregation during replication, independent of autophagy.
