A microtubule associated protein is essential for malaria parasite transmission

2022-10-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Mature gametocytes of Plasmodium ( P .) falciparum display a banana (falciform) shape conferred by a complex array of subpellicular microtubules (SPMT) associated to the inner membrane complex (IMC). Microtubule associated proteins (MAPs) define MT populations and modulate interaction to pellicular components. Several MAPs have been identified in Toxoplasma gondii and homologues can be found...
