Divergent roles for the RH5 complex components, CyRPA and RIPR in human-infective malaria parasites.

Divergent roles for the RH5 complex components, CyRPA and RIPR in human-infective malaria parasites.

Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites, which invade and replicate in erythrocytes. For Plasmodium falciparum, the major cause of severe malaria in humans, a heterotrimeric complex comprised of the secreted parasite proteins, PfCyRPA, PfRIPR and PfRH5 is essential for erythrocyte invasion, mediat...
