Identification and Disruption of the Gene Encoding the Third Member of the Low-Molecular-Mass Rhoptry Complex in <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i>
1 Sept 2002
Abstract excerpt
The low-molecular-mass rhoptry complex of Plasmodium falciparum consists of three proteins, rhoptry-associated protein 1 (RAP1), RAP2, and RAP3. The genes encoding RAP1 and RAP2 are known; however, the RAP3 gene has not been identified. In this study we identify the RAP3 gene from the P. falciparum genome database and show that this protein is part of the low-molecular-mass rhoptry complex. Disruption of RAP3...
