Abstract excerpt
Deubiquitinating enzymes function to cleave ubiquitin (Ub) moieties from modified proteins, serving to maintain the pool of free Ub in the cell while simultaneously impacting the fate and function of a target protein. Like all eukaryotes, Plasmodium parasites rely on the dynamic addition and removal of Ub for their own growth and survival. While humans possess around 100 deubiquitinases, Plasmodium contains ∼20...
