Abstract Iron-sulfur (Fe/S) proteins are present in virtually all living organisms and are
involved in numerous cellular processes such as respiration, photosynthesis, metabolic …

The apicoplast, a relict plastid found in most species of the phylum Apicomplexa, harbors the
ferredoxin redox system which supplies electrons to enzymes of various metabolic pathways …

Background Sperm selection strategies aimed at improving success rates of
intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) include binding to hyaluronic acid (herein termed …

Like many other apicomplexan parasites, Toxoplasma gondii contains a plastid harboring
key metabolic pathways, including the sulfur utilization factor (SUF) pathway that is involved …

The Apicomplexa phylum encompasses numerous obligate intracellular parasites, some
associated with severe implications for human health, including Plasmodium …

During macroautophagy, the Atg8 protein is conjugated to phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)
in autophagic membranes. In Apicomplexan parasites, two cysteine proteases, Atg4 and …

Iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters are one of the most ancient and ubiquitous prosthetic groups, and
they are required by a variety of proteins involved in important metabolic processes …

Abstract Iron–sulfur (Fe‐S) clusters are prosthetic groups on proteins that function in a range
of enzymatic and electron transfer reactions. Fe‐S cluster synthesis is essential for the …

Malaria parasites are diheteroxenous, requiring two hosts—a vertebrate and a mosquito—to
complete their life cycle. Mosquitoes are the definitive host where malaria parasite sex …

Iron-sulfur clusters (FeS) are ancient and ubiquitous protein cofactors that play fundamental
roles in many aspects of cell biology. These cofactors cannot be scavenged or trafficked …
