Structure and function of <i>Plasmodium</i> actin II in the parasite mosquito stages

2022-11-24

Abstract excerpt

Actins are filament-forming, highly-conserved proteins in eukaryotes. They are involved in essential processes in the cytoplasm and have also nuclear functions. Malaria parasites ( Plasmodium spp.) have two actin isoforms that differ from each other and from canonical actins in structure and filament-forming properties. Actin I has an essential role in motility and is fairly well characterized. The structure and...
