A malaria membrane skeletal protein is essential for normal morphogenesis, motility, and infectivity of sporozoites
Membrane skeletons are structural elements that provide mechanical support to the plasma membrane and define cell shape. Here, we identify and characterize a putative protein component of the membrane skeleton of the malaria parasite. The protein, named PbIMC1a, is the structural orthologue of the T...
