Partial or complete disruption of the genePartial
Additional remarks partial/complete disruption The carbon catabolite repressor protein 4 (CCR4)-Not complex is a well-conserved, eukaryotic gene regulatory complex, broadly divided into two modules: CCR4 and CCR4-associated factor 1 (CAF1), regulating mRNA decay, and the Not proteins, regulating transcription and protein degradation. In yeast and other eukaryotes, CAF1 has a major role in determining transcript levels through regulated deadenylation of mRNA. Members of the CCR4-Not complex are well conserved in all Plasmodium species, suggestive of their significance in parasite gene regulation.

The unsuccessful attempts to disrupt caf1 indicates an essential role during asexual blood stage development of P. berghei.

In P. falciparum a 'CAF1-knock out mutant' has been generated and selected by piggyBac-mediated mutagenesis. Asexaul blood stages of this mutant show a severely attenuated growth rate. Phenotype analyses of the P. falciparum mutant indicates that the average number of merozoites/schizont and the length of the cell cycle is similar to that of wild type parasites. However, merozoites show a defect in egress from the host erythrocyte.

The construct used here for disruption of P. berghei caf1 was aimed to disrupt the first exon and a large part of the second exon of the 3 exons.

See RMgm-639 for independent attempts to disrupt P. berghei caf1
