Cell cycle checkpoint activity in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum

This paper identifies a cell cycle checkpoint in Plasmodium falciparum in response to DNA damage, suggesting checkpoint kinase activity despite lacking clear homologues, and proposes checkpoint inhibitors as potential synergists with artemisinin.

Characterisation of cell cycle checkpoint kinases in Toxoplasma gondii

This study identifies and characterizes the DNA damage checkpoint kinases ATM and ATR in Toxoplasma gondii, revealing their unique roles in regulating replication and response to DNA damage.
