-
proplasmepsin I is a type II integral membrane protein that is transported though the secretory pathway before cleavage to the soluble form
-
the plasmepsins, although not essential, contribute significantly to the fitness of the parasite and are required for efficient degradation of endosomal vesicles delivered to the digestive vacuole
