An ApiAP2 transcription factor influencing virulence gene transcription and sexual development in Plasmodium falciparum
2020-08-10
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>The human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum expresses variant PfEMP1 proteins on the infected erythrocyte, which function as ligands for endothelial receptors in capillary vessels, leading to erythrocyte sequestration and severe malaria. The factors that orchestrate the mono-allelic expression of the 50-60 PfEMP1-encoding var genes within each parasite genome are still not fully id...
