The pseudogene SURFIN 4.1 is vital for merozoite formation in blood stage <i>P. falciparum</i>

2019-02-27

Abstract excerpt

The surf gene family of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum encodes for antigens with largely unknown functions. Three of the ten surf genes found in the P. falciparum 3D7 genome are annotated as pseudogenes, and one of these – surf 4.1 (PF3D7_0402200) - was continuously transcribed in P. falciparum 3D7 blood stage forms. GFP-tagging revealed that despite several stop codons a full-length protei...
