Fatty acid acylation regulates trafficking of the unusual Plasmodium falciparum calpain to the nucleolus
23 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
The Plasmodium falciparum genome encodes a single calpain. By generating P. falciparum clones expressing C-terminally tagged calpain, we localized this protein to the nucleolus. Pf_calpain possesses an unusual and long N-terminal domain in which we identified three subregions that are highly conserved among Plasmodium species. Two have putative targeting signals: a myristoylation motif and a nuclear localization...
