PolyA tracks and poly-lysine repeats are the Achilles heel of <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i>

2018-09-18

Abstract excerpt

Plasmodium falciparum , the causative agent of human malaria, is an apicomplexan parasite with a complex, multi-host life cycle. Sixty percent of transcripts from its extreme AT-rich (81%) genome possess coding polyadenosine (polyA) runs, distinguishing the parasite from its hosts and other sequenced organisms. Recent studies indicate that transcripts with polyA runs encoding poly-lysine are hot spots for ribosome...
