✦ Synopsis
Plasmodium berghei derived phosphoproteins are associated with the host erythrocyte membrane. Effectors of the phosphorylation reaction regulate the phosphorylation of the P. berghei derived proteins and spectrin in a similar manner. The spectrin kinase also phosphorylates the P. berghei phosphoproteins in a reconstituted reaction at the same site(s) as the endogenously phosphorylated proteins. These results indicate that a host protein kinase may regulate parasite phosphoproteins during malaria.
