Brief description The intracellular signals that govern Plasmodium falciparum malaria invasion of the red blood cell are poorly understood. It is likely calcium dependent phosphorylation leads to recruitment and activation of a cascade of proteins. This study combines a break-through in purification of viable P. falciparum merozoites with proteomic analysis of phosphorylation states to assess intracellular signalling. It is expected the processes identified will be unique to P. falciparum and targetable by drugs.
