These include genes encoding ribosomal subunits, multiple factors for transcription and translation, enzymes of biosynthetic and catabolic pathways, or merozoite adherence and invasion machinery.
In summary, the schizont stage of plasmodial development featured genes predominantly occupied with the process of merozoite function as well as the advance synthesis of transcripts for proteins that facilitate parasite establishment within the newly infected erythrocyte.
Consistent with these findings, we found five proteins previously associated with this process, pf-actinI (M19146), pf-myoA (AF255909), and merozoite cap protein-1 (U14189), and two subtilisin-like proteases (PfSUB1 and PfSUB2 (AJ132422)) differentially enriched in schizonts.
Eighteen ORFs, identical or homologous to proteins associated with the merozoite surface, were present among the schizont-enriched genes.
The initial step of this process, adhesion of the merozoite to the surface of an erythrocyte, is facilitated by several classes of proteins exposed on the surface of the parasite.
