Loss of serine/threonine protein phosphatase 6 severely impairs sexual stage development in malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei.

Protein phosphorylation plays a critical role during the development of malaria parasites. Here, we performed a functional analysis of the Plasmodium berghei Ser/Thr protein phosphatase 6 (PbPP6), which is associated with the plasma membrane of macrogametes and ookinetes. Compared to wild-type P. be...
