Abstract excerpt
The function of Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine resistance transporter (PfCRT) can be quantified using a Saccharomyces cerevisiae model system [Baro, N. K., Pooput, C., and Roepe, P. D. (2011) Biochemistry 50, 6701-6710]. We further optimized this system to distinguish PfCRT isoforms found in P. falciparum strains and isolates from across the globe. We created and expressed 13 naturally occurring pfcrt alleles...
