Binding of Aldolase and Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase to the Cytoplasmic Tails of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Plasmodium falciparum</named-content> Merozoite Duffy Binding-Like and Reticulocyte Homology Ligands

ABSTRACT Invasion of erythrocytes by Plasmodium falciparum requires a connection between the cytoplasmic tail of the parasite’s ligands for its erythrocyte receptors and the actin-myosin motor of the parasite. For the thromobospondin-related anonymous protein (TRAP) ligand on Plasmodium sporozoites,...
