A <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> MORC protein complex modulates epigenetic control of gene expression through interaction with heterochromatin

2023-09-11

Abstract excerpt

Dynamic control of gene expression is critical for blood stage development of malaria parasites. Here, we used multi-omic analyses to investigate transcriptional regulation by the chromatin-associated microrchidia protein, MORC, during asexual blood stage development of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum . We show that Pf MORC (PF3D7_1468100) interacts with a suite of nuclear proteins, including AP...
