Plasmodium falciparum: influence of malarial and host erythrocyte skeletal protein interactions on phosphorylation in infected erythrocytes.

Abstract excerpt

Phosphorylation of components of the erythrocyte membrane skeleton has major effects on the physical properties of the membrane. Infection of red cells by the protozoan parasite Plasmodium falciparum leads to a marked increase in the level of phosphorylation of red cell protein 4.1 and the insertion into the red cell skeleton of parasite-encoded phosphoproteins, including the mature-parasite-infected erythrocyte...
