New preprint! We identified many components that localize to the structure involved in "eating" in a marine organism. #ProtistOnSky #diplonemid www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

We look into whether the three GAPMs work together or separately, and look at whether their localisation and binding partners changes in different life cycle stages. I'm immensely proud of this work, led by Akancha Mishra from @ritatewari.bsky.social's lab and Giedre Ratkeviciute from ours.

Check out our first lab preprint: A real team effort to understand the Plasmodium GAPM proteins, which form part of a essential bridge between the parasite's cytoskeleton and motility apparatus. Below is a sneak peek of some beautiful microscopy - light and electron! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I know that the mRNA is larger than the protein it codes for but I don't believe it
