Structure and function of Plasmodium actin II in the parasite mosquito stages

A. J. Lopez, M. Andreadaki, J. Vahokoski, E. Deligianni, L. J. Calder, S. Camerini, A. Freitag, U. Bergmann, P. B. Rosenthal, I. Siden-Kiamos, I. Kursula

This study characterizes Plasmodium actin II, showing it forms stable filaments, associates with the nucleus in gametocytes and zygotes, and requires methylation of histidine 73 for function.

High-resolution structures of malaria parasite actomyosin and actin filaments

J. Vahokoski, L. J. Calder, A. J. Lopez, J. E. Molloy, P. B. Rosenthal, I. Kursula

This paper presents the first high-resolution structure of the malaria parasite actomyosin motor complex and reveals new atomic details of the ATPase site and conformational changes.

Biophysical analysis of Plasmodium falciparum Hsp70-Hsp90 organizing protein (PfHop) reveals a monomer that is characterised by folded segments connected by flexible linkers

A. Shonhai, S. Makumire, T. Zininga, J. Vahokoski, I. Kursula

This study characterizes the structure and thermal stability of PfHop, a Plasmodium falciparum protein involved in Hsp70-Hsp90 complex formation, revealing it as a monomeric protein with folded segments and flexible linkers.
