'Detailed life cycle analysis revealed that inhibition of PfGRP170 results in parasite death in early schizogony. The protein is required for surviving a brief heat shock, suggesting that PfGRP170 is essential during febrile episodes in the host. We show that despite a predicted transit peptide, PfGRP170 is not essential for protein trafficking to the apicoplast.'
