A var gene upstream element controls protein synthesis at the level of translation initiation in Plasmodium falciparum.
Clonally variant protein expression in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum generates phenotypic variability and allows isogenic populations to adapt to environmental changes encountered during blood stage infection. The underlying regulatory mechanisms are best studied for the major virulence...
