Publication Abstract from PubMed P25 and P28 proteins are essential for Plasmodium parasites to infect mosquitoes and are leading candidates for a transmission-blocking malaria vaccine. The Plasmodium vivax P25 is a triangular prism that could tile the parasite surface. The residues forming the triangle are conserved in P25 and P28 from all Plasmodium species. A cocrystal structure shows that a transmission-blocking antibody uses only its heavy chain to bind Pvs25 at a vertex of the triangle. The essential mosquito-stage P25 and P28 proteins from Plasmodium form tile-like triangular prisms.,Saxena AK, Singh K, Su HP, Klein MM, Stowers AW, Saul AJ, Long CA, Garboczi DN Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2006 Jan;13(1):90-1.
