The singular job of all known ribosomes: synthesizing protein. Enter the malaria parasite. In our new work, we show that Plasmodium evolved an entire new kind that does just the opposite - inhibit mRNA translation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Ready for the most beautifully sophisticated m6A modification program out there? It’s sex-specific, controls a developmental transition and is temperature-sensitive. Dream team led by Selina, with @ameyasinha.bsky.social @jessmbryant.bsky.social @tizvignolini.bsky.social @ju-couble.bsky.social

N6-methyladenosine primes the malaria parasite for transmission

Sudden environmental changes are a recurring challenge for unicellular organisms, but a necessity for many to progress through their lifecycle. To transmit from its human host to mosquito vector, mala...
