The paper identifies a variant rRNA in Plasmodium falciparum that represses translation during host-to-vector transmission by forming a dominant-negative ribosome.

This study shows that acetyl-CoA synthetase (ACAS) in Plasmodium falciparum is essential for nuclear histone acetylation, which regulates gene expression and the transcriptional cycle during the parasite's life cycle.

This study identifies PfJmjC1 as a key regulator of heterochromatin organization in Plasmodium falciparum, showing its role in genome architecture and parasite life cycle.

This paper identifies N6-methyladenosine (m6A) as a mechanism enabling malaria parasites to rapidly restructure protein synthesis during transmission, dependent on temperature changes and the m6A-binding protein YTH.2.

This study identifies a metabolism-chromatin axis that regulates ribosome heterogeneity in Plasmodium falciparum during host-to-vector transmission.

The paper uses Micro-C to map DNA-DNA contacts in Plasmodium falciparum, revealing heterochromatic and euchromatic structures mediated by MORC/ApiAP2 and other factors.

The paper investigates the role of cohesin in regulating stage-specific gene expression in Plasmodium falciparum, showing that SMC3 represses genes until their appropriate time of expression.

This study identifies m6A mRNA methylation dynamics in Plasmodium falciparum during blood-stage development, showing its role in regulating gene expression and mRNA stability.
