Abstract
⺠Protein traffic into the apicoplastic lumen requires a bipartite signal. ⺠Glutamyl tRNA synthetase (GltX) is a putative apicoplast targeted protein. ⺠GltX contains a bipartite signal sequence, a pre-requisite for apicoplast traffic. ⺠GltX bipartite sequence successfully directed GFP into the apicoplast. ⺠Native GltX may utilize its bipartite sequence for apicoplast entry.
