The Actin Filament-Binding Protein Coronin Regulates Motility in Plasmodium Sporozoites.

The Actin Filament-Binding Protein Coronin Regulates Motility in Plasmodium Sporozoites.

Parasites causing malaria need to migrate in order to penetrate tissue barriers and enter host cells. Here we show that the actin filament-binding protein coronin regulates gliding motility in Plasmodium berghei sporozoites, the highly motile forms of a rodent malaria-causing parasite transmitted by...
