Illuminating how malaria parasites export proteins into host erythrocytes
18 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
Plasmodium parasites that cause the disease malaria have developed an elaborate trafficking pathway to facilitate the export of hundreds of effector proteins into their host cell, the erythrocyte. In this review, we outline how certain effector proteins contribute to parasite survival, virulence, and immune evasion. We also highlight how parasite proteins destined for export are recognised at the endoplasmic...
