Multifunctionality of V-type ATPase during asexual growth and development of Plasmodium falciparum

N. Shadija, S. Dass, W. Xu, H. Ke

This study investigates the localization and function of V-type ATPase in Plasmodium falciparum, showing its role in maintaining cytosolic pH and enabling hemoglobin digestion during parasite development.

The structure of a Plasmodium vivax Tryptophan Rich Antigen suggests a lipid binding function for a pan-Plasmodium multi-gene family

P. Kundu, D. Naskar, S. McKie, S. Dass, U. Kanjee, V. Introini, M. U. Ferreira, M. Duraisingh, J. E. Deane, J. C. Rayner

The paper determines the structure of a Plasmodium vivax TRAg and shows it binds lipids, suggesting a role in membrane remodeling during red blood cell invasion.

Transcriptional changes in Plasmodium falciparum upon conditional knock down of mitochondrial ribosomal proteins RSM22 and L23

S. Dass, M. W. Mather, L. Ling, A. B. Vaidya, H. Ke

This study investigates the effects of conditional knockdown of mitochondrial ribosomal proteins RSM22 and L23 in Plasmodium falciparum, revealing distinct transcriptional responses and metabolic defects leading to parasite death.

Genetic ablation of the mitochondrial ribosome in Plasmodium falciparum sensitizes the human malaria parasite to antimalarial drugs targeting mitochondrial functions

L. Ling, M. Mulaka, J. Munro, S. Dass, M. W. Mather, M. K. Riscoe, M. Llinas, J. Zhou, H. Ke

This study shows that disrupting the mitochondrial ribosome in Plasmodium falciparum makes the parasite more sensitive to drugs targeting mitochondrial functions.

Division and adaptation to host nutritional environment of apicomplexan parasites depend on apicoplast lipid metabolic plasticity and host organelles remodelling

N. J. Katris, S. Amiar, L. Berry, S. Dass, M. J. Shears, C. Brunet, B. Touquet, M.-A. Hakimi, G. I. McFadden, Y. Yamaryo-Botte, C. Y. Botte

This study shows that apicomplexan parasites adapt to host nutritional changes by shifting lipid acquisition between de novo synthesis and host scavenging, involving apicoplast lipid metabolism and host organelle remodeling.

Mitochondrial type II NADH dehydrogenase of Plasmodium falciparum is dispensable and not the functional target of putative NDH2 quinolone inhibitors

H. Ke, S. M. Ganesan, S. Dass, J. M. Morrisey, S. Pou, A. Nilsen, M. K. Riscoe, M. W. Mather, A. B. Vaidya

This paper shows that PfNDH2 in Plasmodium falciparum is not essential and that purported NDH2 inhibitors actually target the cytochrome bc1 complex.
