Abstract
⺠We isolated a cDNA encoding an MCF-like protein, PfDTC, from Plasmodium falciparum. ⺠PfDTC was synthesized with a cell-free system and reconstituted in proteoliposomes. ⺠The reconstituted PfDTC showed substrate-specific membrane transport activity. ⺠PfDTC is likely required for the branched-type TCA metabolism of the malaria parasite.
