The Malaria Parasite's Achilles' Heel: Functionally-Relevant Invasion Structures

  • Manuel E. Patarroyo,
  • Martha P. Alba,
  • Cesar Reyes,
  • Rocio Rojas-Luna and
  • Manuel A. Patarroyo

Malaria parasites have their Achilles' heel; they are vulnerable in small parts of their relevant molecules where they can be wounded and killed. These are sporozoite and merozoite protein conserved high activity binding peptides (cHABPs), playing a...

The Role of Ubiquitination in Regulation of Innate Immune Signaling

  • Ali Zohaib,
  • Xiaodong Duan,
  • Bibo Zhu,
  • Jing Ye,
  • Shengfeng Wan,
  • Huanchun Chen,
  • Xueqin Liu and
  • Shengbo Cao

Ubiquitination, also denoted ubiquitylation, is a posttranslational modification that has been implicated in the regulation of both innate and adaptive immune responses. Ubiquitination plays crucial roles in innate immune signaling by ensuring the pr...
