Apicomplexan parasites, such as human malaria parasites, have complex lifecycles
encompassing multiple and diverse environmental niches. Invading, replicating, and …

Malaria elimination may never succeed without the implementation of transmission-blocking
strategies. The transmission of Plasmodium spp. parasites from the human host to the …

Morphogenesis of many protozoans depends on a polarized establishment of cytoskeletal
structures. In malaria‐causing parasites, this can be observed when a round zygote …

Malaria is caused by infection of the erythrocytes by the parasites Plasmodium. Inside the
erythrocytes, the parasites multiply via schizogony, an unconventional cell division mode …

Malaria continues to be a significant cause of death and morbidity worldwide, and there is a
need for new antimalarial drugs with novel targets. We have focused as a potential target for …

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are essential for regulating protein functions,
influencing various fundamental processes in eukaryotes. These include, but are not limited …

S-acylation, also known as S-palmitoylation or palmitoylation, is a reversible post-
translational lipid modification in which long chain fatty acid, usually the 16-carbon …

By binding to the adaptor protein SKP1 and serving as substrate receptors for the SKP1
Cullin, F-box E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, F-box proteins regulate critical cellular processes …

The inner membrane complex (IMC) is a defining feature of apicomplexan parasites, which
confers stability and shape to the cell, functions as a scaffolding compartment during the …

Reversible protein S-palmitoylation confers spatiotemporal control of protein function by
modulating protein stability, trafficking and activity, as well as protein–protein and membrane …
