Outline of Final Research Achievements

To elucidate the molecular mechanism and membrane dynamics of hemoglobin transport, I focused in ETRAMP4 (Early Transcribed Protein 4), the membrane proteins expressed in trophozoite stage of Plasmodium falciparum. By immunoelectron microscopy, ETRAMP4 localized in parasitophorous vacuole membrane and uptake by cytostomes, hemoglobin transport vesicles.
