Abstract
Apicoplasts are critical for the growth of medically important parasites. It is now reported that they form contacts with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via two pore channels thus enabling Ca2+ trafficking. This highlights the dynamic physical association between organelles as a critical motif in Ca2+ signaling.
