TL;DR: The insights gained from recent studies extend understanding of similar processes in higher eukaryotes and suggest that the recombinational dynamics of telomeres have additional roles that contribute to genomic stability and instability.

TL;DR: Biochemical and molecular characterization of the 100 kDa protein showed that this molecule, designated Saglin, exists as a disulphide‐bonded homodimer of 50 kDa subunits, and the ability to form homodimers was retained even in the recombinant Saglin expressed in mammalian cells (HEK293).

TL;DR: This work provides comprehensive and up-to-date information on Rad51 in these organisms, an eukaryotic homologue of bacterial RecA, and homologous recombination mechanisms and speculate on how might similar DNA repair mechanisms contribute to genetic rearrangement associated with antigenic variation in the apicomplexan Plasmodium parasites, an immune evasion strategy.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that xanthurenic acid not only induces exflagellation of male gametocytes but also promotes infectivity of Plasmodium falciparum to mosquito vectors.

TL;DR: Complementation studies showed that PfPP1 could rescue low glycogen phenotype of Saccharomyces cerevisiae glc7 (PP1) mutant, strongly suggesting functional interaction of Pf PP1 and yeast proteins involved in glycogen metabolism.
