An 8kb gene coding for a putative serine/threonine protein kinase from Plasmodium falciparum has been cloned and sequenced. It is arranged in two exons: exon I is 2 kb and exon II is 5.6 kb. The gene codes for a large protein of 2510 amino acids. Antibodies raised against a fusion protein were used to localize the putative kinase. By immunofluorescence microscopy, it was found in the cytoplasm of infected red cells. By immunoelectron microscopy it was associated with membranous structures in the red cell and with the red cell membrane, particularly at parasite-induced knobs. This is the first putative protein kinase of P. falciparum to be exported from the parasite into its host cell.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
