Shedding of host autophagic proteins from the parasitophorous vacuolar membrane of Plasmodium berghei

Abstract The hepatic stage of the malaria parasite Plasmodium is accompanied by an autophagy-mediated host response directly targeting the parasitophorous vacuolar membrane (PVM) harbouring the parasite. Removal of the PVM-associated autophagic proteins such as ubiquitin, p62, and LC3 correlates wit...
