Subcellular Discharge of a Serine Protease Mediates Release of Invasive Malaria Parasites from Host Erythrocytes
- S. Yeoh, R. O’Donnell, +10 authors M. Blackman
- Biology, Medicine
- Cell
- 14 December 2007
The most virulent form of malaria is caused by waves of replication of blood stages of the protozoan pathogen Plasmodium falciparum. The parasite divides within an intraerythrocytic parasitophorous… Expand
Molecular Identification of a Malaria Merozoite Surface Sheddase
- P. K. Harris, S. Yeoh, +6 authors M. Blackman
- Biology, Medicine
- PLoS pathogens
- 1 November 2005
Proteolytic shedding of surface proteins during invasion by apicomplexan parasites is a widespread phenomenon, thought to represent a mechanism by which the parasites disengage adhesin-receptor… Expand
A single fragment of a malaria merozoite surface protein remains on the parasite during red cell invasion and is the target of invasion- inhibiting antibodies
- M. Blackman, H. Heidrich, S. Donachie, J. S. McBride, A. Holder
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of experimental medicine
- 1 July 1990
A complex of polypeptides derived from a precursor is present on the surface of the malaria merozoite. During erythrocyte invasion only a small fragment from this complex is retained on the parasite… Expand
A Plant-Like Kinase in Plasmodium falciparum Regulates Parasite Egress from Erythrocytes
- J. Dvorin, Derek C. Martyn, +10 authors M. Duraisingh
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 14 May 2010
It's a Knockout The malaria parasite is one of the most important pathogens of humans. Increasing drug-resistance is an imminent public health disaster, and we urgently need to find new drugs. The… Expand
Intramembrane proteolysis mediates shedding of a key adhesin during erythrocyte invasion by the malaria parasite
- R. O’Donnell, F. Hackett, +6 authors M. Blackman
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of cell biology
- 25 September 2006
Apicomplexan pathogens are obligate intracellular parasites. To enter cells, they must bind with high affinity to host cell receptors and then uncouple these interactions to complete invasion.… Expand
An Inhibitory Antibody Blocks Interactions between Components of the Malarial Invasion Machinery
- C. Collins, C. Withers-Martinez, F. Hackett, M. Blackman
- Biology, Medicine
- PLoS pathogens
- 1 January 2009
Host cell invasion by apicomplexan pathogens such as the malaria parasite Plasmodium spp. and Toxoplasma gondii involves discharge of proteins from secretory organelles called micronemes and… Expand
Malaria Parasite cGMP-dependent Protein Kinase Regulates Blood Stage Merozoite Secretory Organelle Discharge and Egress
- C. Collins, F. Hackett, +4 authors M. Blackman
- Biology, Medicine
- PLoS pathogens
- 1 May 2013
The malaria parasite replicates within an intraerythrocytic parasitophorous vacuole (PV). Eventually, in a tightly regulated process called egress, proteins of the PV and intracellular merozoite… Expand
High-Level Expression of the Malaria Blood-Stage Vaccine Candidate Plasmodium falciparum Apical Membrane Antigen 1 and Induction of Antibodies That Inhibit Erythrocyte Invasion
- C. Kocken, C. Withers-Martinez, +4 authors A. Thomas
- Biology, Medicine
- Infection and Immunity
- 1 August 2002
ABSTRACT Apical membrane antigen 1 (AMA-1) is a highly promising malaria blood-stage vaccine candidate that has induced protection in rodent and nonhuman primate models of malaria. Authentic… Expand
Adaptation of the genetically tractable malaria pathogen Plasmodium knowlesi to continuous culture in human erythrocytes
- R. Moon, J. Hall, +6 authors M. Blackman
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 24 December 2012
Research into the aetiological agent of the most widespread form of severe malaria, Plasmodium falciparum, has benefitted enormously from the ability to culture and genetically manipulate blood-stage… Expand
A Role for Apical Membrane Antigen 1 during Invasion of Hepatocytes by Plasmodium falciparum Sporozoites*
- O. Silvie, Jean‐Francois Franetich, +14 authors D. Mazier
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Biological Chemistry
- 5 March 2004
Plasmodium sporozoites are transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes and invade hepatocytes as a first and obligatory step of the parasite life cycle in man. Hepatocyte invasion involves… Expand
