A unique profilin-actin interface is important for malaria parasite motility.

A unique profilin-actin interface is important for malaria parasite motility.

Profilin is an actin monomer binding protein that provides ATP-actin for incorporation into actin filaments. In contrast to higher eukaryotic cells with their large filamentous actin structures, apicomplexan parasites typically contain only short and highly dynamic microfilaments. In apicomplexans,...
