PfCERLI1 is a conserved rhoptry associated protein essential for Plasmodium falciparum merozoite invasion of erythrocytes
Rhoptries are essential organelles for invasion of erythrocytes by Plasmodium. Here, the authors characterize the rhoptry-associated protein CERLI1 using quantitative super-resolution microscopy, showing that it is important for parasite invasion and secretion of rhoptry proteins including vaccine a...
