A malaria membrane skeletal protein is essential for normal morphogenesis, motility, and infectivity of sporozoites

8 Nov 2004

Abstract excerpt

Membrane skeletons are structural elements that provide mechanical support to the plasma membrane and define cell shape. Here, we identify and characterize a putative protein component of the membrane skeleton of the malaria parasite. The protein, named PbIMC1a, is the structural orthologue of the Toxoplasma gondii inner membrane complex protein 1 (TgIMC1), a component of the membrane skeleton in tachyzoites....
