    • Apicomplexan actin polymerization depends on nucleation 

      Kumpula, Esa-Pekka; Pires, Isa; Lasiwa, Davki; Piirainen, Henni; Bergmann, Ulrich; Vahokoski, Juha; Kursula, Inari (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-09-22)
      Filamentous actin is critical for apicomplexan motility and host cell invasion. Yet, parasite actin filaments are short and unstable. Their kinetic characterization has been hampered by the lack of robust quantitative ...

    • Atomic view into plasmodium actin polymerization, ATP hydrolysis, and fragmentation 

      Kumpula, Esa-Pekka; Lopez Moreno, Andrea Johana; Tajedin, Leila; Han, Huijong; Kursula, Inari (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Plasmodium actins form very short filaments and have a noncanonical link between ATP hydrolysis and polymerization. Long filaments are detrimental to the parasites, but the structural factors constraining Plasmodium ...
