A new junctional hierarchy (2016)
Journal Article

In this issue of Blood, Lu et al report on the generation and characterization of erythrocytes from a dematin knockout mouse and demonstrate the previously unrecognized centrality of this protein to the junctional protein complex-mediated maintenance... Read More about A new junctional hierarchy.

Severe Ankyrin-R deficiency results in impaired surface retention and lysosomal degradation of RhAG in human erythroblasts (2016)
Journal Article

Ankyrin-R provides a key link between band 3 and the spectrin cytoskeleton that helps to maintain the highly specialized erythrocyte biconcave shape. Ankyrin deficiency results in fragile spherocytic erythrocytes with reduced band 3 and protein 4.2 e...

Erythrocyte invasion receptors for Plasmodium falciparum: New and old (2016)
Journal Article

Understanding the complex process by which the invasive form of the Plasmodium falciparum parasite, the merozoite, attaches to and invades erythrocytes as part of its blood stage life cycle represents a key area of research in the battle to combat ma...

Quantitative phospho-proteomics reveals the Plasmodium merozoite triggers pre-invasion host kinase modification of the red cell cytoskeleton (2016)
Journal Article

The invasive blood-stage malaria parasite-the merozoite-induces rapid morphological changes to the target erythrocyte during entry. However, evidence for active molecular changes in the host cell that accompany merozoite invasion is lacking. Here, we...
