Genetic screens reveal a central role for heme metabolism in artemisinin susceptibility

Artemisinin (ART) resistance poses a problem for malaria elimination. Here, the authors perform genome-wide CRISPR screens in Toxoplasma gondii and identify that the putative transporter Tmem14c and mitochondrial heme metabolism, through mitochondrial protease DegP2, affect ART susceptibility.
