Abstract excerpt
Malaria parasites must respond to stresses and environmental signals to perpetuate efficiently during their multistage development in diverse environments. To gain insights into the parasite's stress response mechanisms, we investigated a conserved Plasmodium protein, which we have named plasmoDJ1 on the basis of the presence of a putative cysteine protease motif of the DJ-1/PfpI superfamily, for its activities,...
