Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Micronemes are cellular organs, or organelles , possessed by Apicomplexa protozoans that are restricted to the apical third of the protozoan body. They are surrounded by a typical unit membrane. On electorn microscopy they have an electron dense matrix due to the high protein content. They are specialized secretory organelles important for gliding motility and host cell invasion. These organelles secrete several proteins such as Plasmodium falciparum apical membrane antigen 1 apical membrane antigen 1 , or PfAMA1, and Erythrocyte family antigen, or EBA, family proteins. These proteins specialize in binding to erythrocyte surface receptors and facilitating erythrocyte entry. Only by this initial chemical exchange can the parasite enter into the erythrocyte via actin myosin motor complex. This is a crucial organelle for the P. falciparum parasite. It has been posited that this organelle works cooperatively with its counterpart organelle, the rhoptry, which also is a secretory organelle. It is possible that, while the microneme initiates erythrocyte binding, the rhoptry secretes proteins to create the PVM, or the Parasitophorous Vacuolar Membrane, in which the parasite can survive and reproduce.

The non nucleic genome of eukaryotic cells exists in cytoplasm ic organelle s, namely the chloroplast s only in plant cell s and the mitochondria in all eukaryotic cells . Most of the gene s in the mitochondria code for cellular respiration respiration related protein s, and most of the genes in the chloroplasts code for photosynthesis related proteins. The cytoplasmic genome, in contrast with the nucleic genome, exists in many copies in each cell each cell contains numerous mitochondria and or chloroplasts, and each such organelle contains multiple copies of its chromosome . Mutation s in the cytoplasmic genome occur spontanteously and at a much higher rate than in the nucleus, since the mitochondria and chloroplasts are exposed to high concentration s of reactive oxygen species ROS, by products of respiration and photosynthesis . Mitochondria and chloroplasts with mutant genes have the ability to cause wildtype allele s in other mitochondria and chloroplasts to become mutant as well the way in which this is done is still not clear. A certain cell in which a mutant gene exists only in some of the organelles, whereas the wildtype allele exists in the rest, is a cytohet or heteroplasmon .

A Nuclear gene is a gene located in the cell nucleus of a eukaryote . The term is used to distinguish nuclear gene s from the gene s in the mitochondrion , and in case of plants, also the chloroplast , which host their own genetic system and can produce proteins from scratch. The term gene most often refers to nuclear genes. The distinct genome s of eukaryotes are thought to have arisen through symbiosis symbiotic relationships. The mitochondrion represents a eubacterium that integrated into its archaea l host cell biology cell s physiology to such an extent that it became an integral cell component, or organelle . ref http www.ijdb.ehu.es web paper.php?doi 10.1387 ijdb.051997el Enrique Lopez Juez and Kevin A.

The majority of the protein s of a cell are the product of messenger RNA Transcription genetics transcribed from nuclear genes, including most of the proteins of the organelles, which are produced in the cytoplasm like all nuclear gene products and then transported to the organelle.
