| Research Abstract |
An oyster parasite Perkinsus marinus has been suggested to harbor reduced plastid. To identify it and to elucidate the maintenance mechanism, I established a parasite strain overexpressing plastid-specific protein fused with multiple-tagged fluorescent protein. This strain identified a plastid surrounded by 4 membranes, proved absence of plastid DNA, and suggested involvement of Tic/Toc translocon on the protein transport into the plastid.
