Human Cyclophilin B forms part of a multi-protein complex during erythrocyte invasion by Plasmodium falciparum
Invasion of red blood cells by Plasmodium falciparum is a complex process and relies on several receptor-ligand interactions. Here, the authors show that human cyclophilin B binds Plasmodium surface protein PfRhopH3 and that interruption of this interaction reduces invasion by 80%.
