The dynamin-related protein PfDyn2 is essential for both apicoplast and mitochondrial fission in Plasmodium falciparum

ABSTRACT Dynamins, or dynamin-related proteins (DRPs), are large mechano-sensitive GTPases that mediate membrane dynamics or organellar fission/fusion events. Plasmodium falciparum encodes three dynamin-like proteins whose functions are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that one of these dynam...
