Epistasis studies reveal redundancy among calcium-dependent protein kinases in motility and invasion of malaria parasites
8 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
In malaria parasites, evolution of parasitism has been linked to functional optimisation. Despite this optimisation, most members of a calcium-dependent protein kinase (CDPK) family show genetic redundancy during erythrocytic proliferation. To identify relationships between phospho-signalling pathways, we here screen 294 genetic interactions among protein kinases in Plasmodium berghei. This reveals a synthetic...
