Glycosylation of <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> TRAP supports sporozoite motility and invasion

2025-06-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum ( Pf ) expresses ten different thrombospondin type 1 repeat (TSR) domain-bearing proteins at different stages throughout its life cycle. TSRs can be modified by two types of glycosylation: O-fucosylation at conserved serine (S) or threonine (T) residues and C-mannosylation at conserved tryptophan (W) residues. Pf TRAP, which is expressed in mos...
