Global kinomic and phospho-proteomic analyses of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum

Claudia Demarta, Michele Graciotti

The role of protein phosphorylation in the life cycle of malaria parasites is slowly emerging. Here we combine global phospho-proteomic analysis with kinome-wide reverse genetics to assess the importance of protein phosphorylation in Plasmodium falciparum ...

An essential Aurora-related kinase transiently associates with spindle pole bodies during Plasmodium falciparum erythrocytic schizogony

Aurora kinases compose a family of conserved Ser/Thr protein kinases playing essential roles in eukaryotic cell division. To date, Aurora homologues remain uncharacterized in the protozoan phylum Apicomplexa. In malaria parasites, the characterization of A ...

Understanding Chloroquine Action at the Molecular Level in Antimalarial Therapy: X-ray Absorption Studies in Dimethyl Sulfoxide Solution

Andrzej Sienkiewicz

X-ray absorption spectroscopy is used to determine the local atomic structure around the iron atom from a soluble synthetic analogue of malaria pigment (hemozoin), cf. ferrimesoporphyrin IX of mesohematin anhydride, in the absence or presence of chloroquin ...

Plasmodium falciparum NIMA-related kinase Pfnek-1: sex specificity and assessment of essentiality for the erythrocytic asexual cycle

The Plasmodium falciparum kinome includes a family of four protein kinases (Pfnek-1 to -4) related to the NIMA (never-in-mitosis) family, members of which play important roles in mitosis and meiosis in eukaryotic cells. Only one of these, Pfnek-1, which we ...
