A bridge-like lipid transfer protein is critical for generation of invasive stages in malaria parasites

Andrés Guillén-Samander, Nika Perepelkina, Vendula Horáčková, Hannah Michaela Behrens, Hely O. Rodriguez Cruz, Paolo Mesén-Ramírez, Ana Ribeiro-Holbein, Per Haberkant, Frank Stein, Tobias Spielmann

This study identifies PfVPS13L1 as a critical lipid transfer protein in malaria parasites that facilitates lipid transfer from the ER to the inner membrane complex, essential for schizogony.
