Virulence determinant, PTP7, controls vesicle budding from the Maurer’s clefts, adhesin protein trafficking and host cell remodeling in <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i>
2021-08-12
Abstract excerpt
Presentation of the variant antigen, Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (EMP1), at knob-like protrusions on the surface of infected red blood cells, underpins P. falciparum malaria pathogenicity. Here we describe a protein PF3D7_0301700 (PTP7), that functions at the nexus between the intermediate trafficking organelle, the Maurer’s cleft, and the infected red blood cell surface. Genetic disrupt...
