A novel protein kinase family in <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> is differentially transcribed and secreted to various cellular compartments of the host cell
13 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
Processes at the surface of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes such as antigenic variation and cytoadhesion may be modulated by active signalling between host and parasite. Potential candidates for this role include the putative kinases of the FIKK family. The novel Apicomplexa-specific FIKK gene has expanded in P. falciparum to 20 sequence-related members distributed between 11 chromosomes. Specific...
