Dynamic phosphorylation of the Plasmodium falciparum Myosin A motor regulates motor speed and is important for asexual replication
Malaria parasite invasion of red blood cells is powered by Myosin A (MyoA), the actomyosin motor which is a core component of the glideosome. Our previous phosphoproteomic study identified a cyclic GMP-dependent phosphorylation site on MyoA at Ser19, suggesting that cyclic nucleotide signalling may directly regulate motor activity during invasion. However, the functional significance of this…
