CCR4-Associated Factor 1 Coordinates the Expression of Plasmodium falciparum Egress and Invasion Proteins
30 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
Coordinated regulation of gene expression is a hallmark of the Plasmodium falciparum asexual blood-stage development cycle. We report that carbon catabolite repressor protein 4 (CCR4)-associated factor 1 (CAF1) is critical in regulating more than 1,000 genes during malaria parasites' intraerythrocytic stages, especially egress and invasion proteins. CAF1 knockout results in mistimed expression, aberrant...
