Proteomic analysis of the Plasmodium male gamete reveals the key role for glycolysis in flagellar motility.
BACKGROUND: Gametogenesis and fertilization play crucial roles in malaria transmission. While male gametes are thought to be amongst the simplest eukaryotic cells and are proven targets of transmission blocking immunity, little is known about their molecular organization. For example, the pathway of...
