Structural highlights
FunctionCDPK1_PLABA Calcium-dependent protein kinase which acts as a sensor and effector of intracellular Ca(2+) levels probably in part downstream of cGMP-activated PKG kinase (By similarity). During the liver stage, involved in sporozoite motility and thus in sporozoite invasion of host hepatocytes, probably together with CDPK4 and CDPK5 (PubMed:32866196). In the mosquito midgut and during the last stage of male gamete exflagellation, may play a role in the rupture of the host erythrocyte membrane (PubMed:22817984). In the mosquito midgut, required for the differentiation of the zygote into the ookinete by promoting the translational activation of a subset of repressed mRNAs; these mRNAs are kept repressed in the zygote by the DOZI- or CITH-containing mRNP complexes (PubMed:22817984, PubMed:24265753). Dispensable during the asexual blood stage (PubMed:24265753).[UniProtKB:P62344][1] [2] [3] References
