Molecular architecture and domain arrangement of the placental malaria protein VAR2CSA suggests a model for carbohydrate binding
VAR2CSA is the placental-malaria–specific member of the antigenically variant Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) family. It is expressed on the surface of Plasmodium falciparum-infected host red blood cells and binds to specific chondroitin-4-sulfate chains of the placenta...
