2.A.7.9.24
The phosphoenolpyruvate/phosphate translocator, pPT, of 524 aas in the outer membranes of apicoplasts, vestigial plastids in apicomplexan parasites such as Plasmodium. Transports glucose-6 P and triose-3 Ps via an inorganic phosphate antiport mechanism.  Apicomplexan parasites are dependant on their apicoplasts for synthesis of various molecules that they are unable to scavenge in sufficient quantity from their host. They import carbon, energy and reducing power to drive anabolic synthesis in the organelle. pPT is targeted into the outer apicoplast membrane via a transmembrane domain that acts as a recessed signal anchor to direct the protein into the endomembrane system. A tyrosine in the cytosolic N-terminus of the protein is essential for targeting (Lim et al. 2016).
