Unusual Kinetic and Structural Properties Control Rapid Assembly and Turnover of Actin in the Parasite Toxoplasma gondiiD⃞

Sahoo, Nivedita, Beatty, Wandy, Heuser, John, Sept, David, Sibley, L. David

Toxoplasma is a protozoan parasite in the phylum Apicomplexa, which contains a number of medically important parasites that rely on a highly unusual form of motility termed gliding to actively...

Four plasmepsins are active in the Plasmodium falciparum food vacuole, including a protease with an active-site histidine

Banerjee, Ritu, Liu, Jun, Beatty, Wandy, Pelosof, Lorraine, Klemba, Michael, Goldberg, Daniel E.

Hemoglobin degradation is a metabolic process that is central to the growth and maturation of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Two aspartic proteases that initiate degradation, plasmepsins...

Trafficking of plasmepsin II to the food vacuole of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum

Klemba, Michael, Beatty, Wandy, Gluzman, Ilya, Goldberg, Daniel E.

fA amily of aspartic proteases, the plasmepsins (PMs), plays a key role in the degradation of hemoglobin in the Plasmodium falciparum food vacuole. To study the trafficking of proPM II, we have...

HDP—A Novel Heme Detoxification Protein from the Malaria Parasite

Jani, Dewal, Nagarkatti, Rana, Beatty, Wandy, Angel, Ross, Slebodnick, Carla, Andersen, John, ...

When malaria parasites infect host red blood cells (RBC) and proteolyze hemoglobin, a unique, albeit poorly understood parasite-specific mechanism, detoxifies released heme into hemozoin (Hz). Here,...
