Metabolic maps and functions of the Plasmodium mitochondrion
Open accessAbstract
The mitochondrion of Plasmodium species is a validated drug target. However, very little is known about the functions of this organelle. In this review, we utilize data available from the Plasmodium falciparum genome sequencing project to piece together putative metabolic pathways that occur in the parasite, comparing this with the existing biochemical and cell biological knowledge. The Plasmodium mitochondrion contains both conserved and unusual features, including an active electron transport chain and many of the necessary enzymes for coenzyme Q and iron-sulphur cluster biosynthesis. It also plays an important role in pyrimidine metabolism. The mitochondrion participates in an unusual hybrid haem biosynthesis pathway, with enzymes localizing in both the mitochondrion and plastid organelles. The function of the tricarboxylic acid cycle in the mitochondrion is unclear. We discuss directions for future research into this fascinating, yet enigmatic, organelle.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
