The parasite Encephalitozoon cuniculi contains mitosomes instead of functional mitochondria. Although mitochondrial carrier proteins are known to be responsible for ATP transport from the mitochondria to the cytosol, Hirt et al. now show this process to be reversed in E. cuniculi, where ATP appears to be transported from the cytosol to the organelle.
