A PROPPIN links V-ATPase assembly to endocytic membrane dynamics in malaria parasites

2026-04-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Malaria parasites replicate inside red blood cells, degrading hemoglobin within a specialized digestive vacuole. Efficient hemoglobin processing is essential for parasite survival and influences antimalarial drug susceptibility. The vacuole constantly fuses with incoming hemoglobin-filled vesicles, yet the mechanisms that balance cargo influx with membrane homeostasis remain unclear. Here, using...
