Structure and function of Plasmodium actin II in the parasite mosquito stages.

Structure and function of Plasmodium actin II in the parasite mosquito stages.

Actins are filament-forming, highly-conserved proteins in eukaryotes. They are involved in essential processes in the cytoplasm and also have nuclear functions. Malaria parasites (Plasmodium spp.) have two actin isoforms that differ from each other and from canonical actins in structure and filament...
