Additional remarks phenotype | Mutant/mutation/phenotype Reference PMID 27084458 In the same paper a double knock-out mutant is described lacking both DHHC3 (PBANKA_0927300) and DHHC9. This mutant shows a stronger reduction in oocyst and sporozoite production compared to the single DHHC3-ko parasites (RMgm-888). In addition, ookinete development was affected (aberrant, shorter ookintes) with less than 1% normal mature ookinetes). |
