Gene targeting demonstrates that the<i>Plasmodium berghei</i>subtilisin PbSUB2 is essential for red cell invasion and reveals spontaneous genetic recombination events
12 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
The Plasmodium merozoite proteases involved in the crucial process of erythrocyte invasion are promising targets for novel malaria control strategies. We report here the characterization of the subtilisin-like protease SUB2 from the rodent parasites Plasmodium berghei and Plasmodium yoelii, leading the way to in vivo functional studies of this enzyme. The kinetics of expression and subcellular localization imply...
