Acyl carrier protein is essential for apicoplast biogenesis in malaria parasites independent of fatty acid synthesis

Acyl carrier protein (ACP) and its 4-phosphopantetheine prosthetic group canonically function as the soluble scaffold for acyl chain assembly and elongation during type II fatty acid biosynthesis (FASII). Plasmodium malaria parasites retain a FASII pathway in the apicoplast organelle that has been the subject of consid...
