Inactivation of a plasmodium apicoplast protein attenuates formation of liver merozoites

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Joana M. Haussig and collaborators from the Biology, Charitéplatz, Berlin, Germany have published the research work: Inactivation of a Plasmodium apicoplast protein attenuates formation of liver merozoites, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: Using targeted gene deletion in the rodent model malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei the authors show that a Plasmodium-specific Apicoplast protein plays an important role for Liver Merozoite formation (PALM). The authors demonstrate the importance of a previously uncharacterized Plasmodium-specific apicoplast protein for liver merozoite formation (PALM) and its requirement for efficient transition to a blood-stage infection.
