Proteomic analysis of the Plasmodium male gamete reveals the key role for glycolysis in flagellar motility
13 Aug 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Gametogenesis and fertilization play crucial roles in malaria transmission. While male gametes are thought to be amongst the simplest eukaryotic cells and are proven targets of transmission blocking immunity, little is known about their molecular organization. For example, the pathway of energy metabolism that power motility, a feature that facilitates gamete encounter and fertilization, is unknown....
