A multistage Plasmodium CRL4-WIG1 ubiquitin ligase is critical for the formation of functional microtubule organisation centres in microgametocytes

R. Rashpa, C. Smith, K. Artavanis-Tsakonas, M. Brochet

This study identifies a CRL4-related ubiquitin ligase in Plasmodium that is critical for microgametocyte formation by regulating proteostasis of ciliary and DNA replication proteins.

Ultrastructure expansion microscopy of Plasmodium gametocytes reveals the molecular architecture of a microtubule organisation centre coordinating mitosis with axoneme assembly

R. Rashpa, M. Brochet

This study uses ultrastructure expansion microscopy to reveal the molecular architecture of a bipartite MTOC in Plasmodium gametocytes that coordinates mitosis with axoneme assembly.

Genome-wide functional analysis reveals key roles for kinesins in the mammalian and mosquito stages of the malaria parasite life cycle

M. Zeeshan, R. Rashpa, D. J. P. Ferguson, S. Abel, Z. Chahine, D. Brady, s. vaughan, C. A. Moores, K. G. Le Roch, M. Brochet, A. A. Holder, R. Tewari

The paper identifies key kinesins involved in the malaria parasite life cycle in mammalian and mosquito hosts, showing kinesin-13 is essential for growth in mammals while others are critical for mosquito transmission.

Protein Phosphatase 1 regulates atypical mitotic and meiotic division in Plasmodium sexual stages

M. Zeeshan, R. Pandey, A. K. SUBUDHI, D. J. P. Ferguson, G. Kaur, R. Rashpa, R. Nugmanova, D. Brady, A. Bottrill, S. Vaughan, M. Brochet, M. Bollen, A. Pain, A. A. Holder, D. S. Guttery, R. Tewari

The paper investigates the role of Protein Phosphatase 1 (PP1) in atypical mitotic and meiotic divisions during Plasmodium sexual stages, suggesting PP1 inhibitors could block parasite transmission.
