Structural and mechanistic insights into <i>Plasmodium</i> eIF2alpha dephosphorylation by UIS2 during the erythrocytic stage

2024-06-27

Abstract excerpt

UIS2 is a promising therapeutic target for malaria due to its essential role in the transmission and infectivity of Plasmodium to the host hepatocytes. In Plasmodium , UIS2 acts as a phosphatase toward phosphorylated eIF2alpha at Ser59, regulating translation initiation. However, its role during the erythrocytic stage, which causes clinical symptoms, remains unclear, and its protein structure for elucidating the...
