The malaria parasite PP1 phosphatase controls the initiation of the egress pathway of asexual blood-stages by regulating the rounding-up of the vacuole. by Marie Seveno, Manon N Loubens, Laurence Berry, Arnault Graindorge, Maryse Lebrun, Catherine Lavazec, Mauld H Lamarque

“…Strikingly, our data show that rounding-up is the step triggered by egress inducers, and support its reliance on Ca2+, as the calcium ionophore A23187 bypasses the egress defect of PfPP1-null schizonts, restores proper egress kinetics and promotes the initiation of the rounding-up step. Therefore, this study places the phosphatase PP1 upstream of the cGMP-PKG signaling pathway, and sheds new light on the regulation of rounding-up, the first step in P. falciparum blood stage egress cascade.…”
