Microtubule inner proteins of Plasmodium are essential for transmission of malaria parasites

F. Hentzschel, A. M. Binder, L. P. Dorner, L. Herzel, F. Nuglish, M. Sema, M. C. Aguirre-Botero, M. Cyrklaff, C. Funaya, F. Frischknecht

This study investigates the role of four MIPs in Plasmodium transmission, finding that two are essential for gamete formation and mosquito transmission.

Endosomal egress and intercellular transmission of hepatic ApoE-containing lipoproteins and its exploitation by the hepatitis C virus

M.-T. Pham, J.-Y. Lee, C. Ritter, R. Thielemann, U. Haselmann, C. Funaya, V. Laketa, K. Rohr, R. Bartenschlager

This paper identifies the endosomal egress pathway of hepatic ApoE-containing lipoproteins and shows how the hepatitis C virus exploits this route for intercellular transmission.

Malaria transmission relies on concavin-mediated maintenance of Plasmodium sporozoite cell shape

J. Kehrer, P. Formaglio, J. M. Muthinja, S. Weber, D. Baltissen, C. Lance, J. Ripp, J. Grech, M. Meissner, C. Funaya, R. Amino, F. Frischknecht

This study identifies concavin as a protein essential for maintaining Plasmodium sporozoite shape during mosquito transmission and skin migration, with its absence leading to shape defects and reduced transmission efficiency.

Asynchronous nuclear cycles in multinucleated Plasmodium falciparum enable rapid proliferation

S. Klaus, P. Binder, J. Kim, M. Machado, C. Funaya, V. Schaaf, D. Klaschka, A. Kudulyte, M. Cyrklaff, V. Laketa, T. Hoefer, J. Guizetti, N. Becker, F. Frischknecht, U. S. Schwarz, M. Ganter

The paper shows that Plasmodium falciparum nuclei replicate DNA asynchronously, leading to heterogeneous progeny numbers and slower replication during overlapping events.

An extended DNA-free intranuclear compartment organizes centrosomal microtubules in Plasmodium falciparum

C. S. Simon, C. Funaya, J. Bauer, Y. Voss, M. Machado, A. Penning, D. Klaschka, M. Cyrklaff, J. Kim, M. Ganter, J. Guizetti

This study identifies an extended intranuclear compartment in Plasmodium falciparum that nucleates microtubules during schizogony, revealing a novel centrosome structure.

ESCRT machinery mediates selective microautophagy of endoplasmic reticulum

J. Schaefer, J. Schessner, P. Bircham, T. Tsuji, C. Funaya, K. Schaeff, G. Ruffini, D. Papagiannidis, M. Knop, T. Fujimoto, S. Schuck

This study identifies the ESCRT machinery and Nem1-Spo7 phosphatase complex as key components mediating micro-ER-phagy in yeast, distinguishing it from macro-ER-phagy.

Cell-specific modulation of nuclear pore complexes controls cell cycle entry during asymmetric division

A. Kumar, P. Sharma, Z. Shcheprova, A. Daulny, T. Sanmartin, I. Matucci, C. Funaya, M. Beato, M. Mendoza

The paper identifies a mechanism where Hos3-mediated NPC deacetylation in budding yeast daughter cells delays cell cycle entry by regulating transcriptional repression and gene silencing.
