Ubiquitin activation is essential for schizont maturation in Plasmodium falciparum blood-stage development.
Ubiquitylation is a common post translational modification of eukaryotic proteins and in the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) overall ubiquitylation increases in the transition from intracellular schizont to extracellular merozoite stages in the asexual blood stage cycle.Here, we identify specific ubiquitylation sites of protein s
