Apical anchorage and stabilization of subpellicular microtubules by apical polar ring ensures Plasmodium ookinete infection in mosquito
The structure of subpellicular microtubules (SPMTs) nucleated from the apical polar ring (APR) is essential for Plasmodium parasite morphogenesis, gliding motility, and invasion. Here, Qian et al. characterize the function of APR2 protein in P. yoelii ookinetes. Using co-localization analysis, proxi...
