1 Here, we show that this conserved protein (PF3D7_0629500 in Plasmodium falciparum; AAT1 in P. chabaudi) is a structural homologue of the yeast amino acid transporter Tat2p, which is known to mediate quinine uptake and toxicity. Quinine aromatic amino acid transmembrane transporter TAT2 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
2 Like Tat2p, PF3D7_0629500-dependent quinine hypersensitivity was suppressible with tryptophan, consistent with a common transport mechanism. Quinine aromatic amino acid transmembrane transporter TAT2 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
