Rhoptry neck protein 4 plays important roles during Plasmodium sporozoite infection of the mammalian liver

ABSTRACT During invasion, Plasmodium parasites secrete proteins from rhoptry and microneme apical end organelles, which have crucial roles in attaching to and invading target cells. A sporozoite stage-specific gene silencing system revealed that rhoptry neck protein 2 (RON2), RON4, and RON5 are impo...
