Using green fluorescent malaria parasites to screen for permissive vector mosquitoes (2006)

Frischknecht, Friedrich, Martin, Beatrice, Thiery, Isabelle, Bourgouin, Catherine, Menard, Robert

Abstract Background The Plasmodium species that infect rodents, particularly Plasmodium berghei and Plasmodium yoelii , are useful to investigate host-parasite interactions. The mosquito species that...

The heterodimeric structure of glucosidase II is required for its activity, solubility, and localization in vivo (2000)

Pelletier, Marc F., Marcil, Anne, Sevigny, Guy, Jakob, Claude A., Tessier, Daniel C., Chevet, Eric, ...

Glucosidase II is an ER heterodimeric enzyme that cleaves sequentially the two innermost α–1,3-linked glucose residues from N-linked oligosaccharides on nascent glycoproteins. This processing...

Cryoelectron tomography reveals periodic material at the inner side of subpellicular microtubules in apicomplexan parasites

Cyrklaff, Marek, Kudryashev, Mikhail, Leis, Andrew, Leonard, Kevin, Baumeister, Wolfgang, Menard, Robert, ...

Microtubules are dynamic cytoskeletal structures important for cell division, polarity, and motility and are therefore major targets for anticancer and antiparasite drugs. In the invasive forms of...

Rab11A-Controlled Assembly of the Inner Membrane Complex Is Required for Completion of Apicomplexan Cytokinesis

Agop-Nersesian, Carolina, Naissant, Bernina, Rached, Fathia Ben, Rauch, Manuel, Kretzschmar, Angelika, Thiberge, Sabine, ...

The final step during cell division is the separation of daughter cells, a process that requires the coordinated delivery and assembly of new membrane to the cleavage furrow. While most eukaryotic...
