Additional remarks genetic modification | The gene has been identified in a study to identify proteins that are exported from the blood stage parasite to the host erythrocyte and that are conserved between P. falciparum and P. berghei. These proteins contain signal sequences and the Host-Targeting (HT) motif (van Ooij et al., 2008, PloS Pathogens 4, e10000084). Eleven conserved proteins were identified and 9 genes encoding these proteins were targeted for gene disruption in P. berghei. All attempts to disrupt these genes were unsuccessful, indication the essential nature of their proteins for blood stage development.
