This study shows that phosphorylation of Plasmodium falciparum MyoA at Ser19 dynamically regulates motor speed and is essential for asexual replication.

This study investigates how Plasmodium actin depolymerizing factors interact with phosphoinositides, revealing structural and functional differences between ADF1 and ADF2.

The paper reports the crystal structure of Anopheles gambiae ADF, showing high affinity for monomeric actin and structural features relevant to its function.

This study identifies MMV020291 as a compound that targets actin-1/profilin dynamics in Plasmodium falciparum, inhibiting red blood cell invasion and apicoplast segregation.

This paper presents the crystal structure of a homodimeric actin capping protein from Plasmodium berghei and describes its atypical regulatory effects on actin dynamics.
