Malaria Parasite clag3 Genes Determine Channel-Mediated Nutrient Uptake by Infected Red Blood Cells

TL;DR: DNA transfection and in vitro selections indicate that PSAC-inhibitor interactions are encoded by two clag3 genes previously assumed to function in cytoadherence, which are conserved in plasmodia, exhibit expression switching, and encode an integral protein on the host membrane, as predicted by functional studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Solute restriction reveals an essential role for clag3-associated channels in malaria parasite nutrient acquisition.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that plasmodial surface anion channel functions in nutrient acquisition for intracellular parasites, and antimalarial drug development targeting PSAC should be pursued.
