Proteolysis at a specific extracellular residue implicates integral membrane CLAG3 in malaria parasite nutrient channels.
The plasmodial surface anion channel mediates uptake of nutrients and other solutes into erythrocytes infected with malaria parasites. The clag3 genes of P. falciparum determine this channel's activity in human malaria, but how the encoded proteins contribute to transport is unknown. Here, we u...
