Plasmodium berghei plasmepsin VIII is essential for sporozoite gliding motility.

International journal for parasitology - 1 Apr 2017

Mastan Babu S, Narwal Sunil Kumar, Dey Sandeep, Kumar Kota Arun, Mishra Satish

Abstract excerpt

Plasmodium aspartic proteases, termed plasmepsins (PMs) play many critical roles such as haemoglobin degradation, cleavage of PEXEL proteins and sporozoite development in the parasite life cycle. Most of the plasmepsins are well characterized, however the role of PM VIII in Plasmodium remains unknown. Here, we elucidate the functions of PM VIII (PBANKA_132910) in the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei...
