THE CLAUDIN-LIKE APICOMPLEXAN MICRONEME PROTEIN IS REQUIRED FOR GLIDING MOTILITY AND INFECTIVITY OF PLASMODIUM SPOROZOITES.

The claudin-like apicomplexan microneme protein is required for gliding motility and infectivity of Plasmodium sporozoites.

Invasion of host cells by apicomplexan parasites such as Toxoplasma and Plasmodium spp requires the sequential secretion of the parasite apical organelles, Liquid Toner the micronemes and the rhoptries.The claudin-like apicomplexan microneme protein (CLAMP) is a conserved protein that plays an essential role during invasion by Toxoplasma gondii tac
