The regulation of virulence gene expression is controlled by phase separation of heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) in Plasmodium falciparum

DV Mamatharani, Devatrisha Purkayastha, Igor Niederwieser, Sandeep K. Rai, Prakshi Gaur, Mahipal Ganji, Samrat Mukhopadhyay, Till Steffen Voss, Krishanpal Karmodiya

This study shows that PfHP1 phase separation controls var gene silencing in P. falciparum by forming heterochromatin clusters, leading to antigenic variation.

The Plasmodium falciparum histone methyltransferase PfSET10 is dispensable for the regulation of antigenic variation and gene expression in blood stage parasites

Matthias Wyss, Abhishek Kanyal, Igor Niederwieser, Richárd Bártfai, Till Steffen Voss

This study shows that PfSET10 is not required for var gene expression, antigenic variation, or blood stage parasite survival.
