Epigenetic marks reduce erythrocyte uptake of antimalarials
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Acquired antimalarial drug resistance produces treatment failures and has led to periods of global disease resurgence. In P. falciparum, resistance is known to arise through genome-level changes such as mutations and gene duplications. We now report an epigenetic resistance mechanism involving genes responsible for the plasmodial surface anion channel, a nutrient channel that also transports ions and antimalarial compounds at the host erythrocyte membrane. Two blasticidin S-resistant lines exhibited markedly reduced expression of clag
