• A function of profilin in force generation during malaria parasite motility that is independent of actin binding 

      Moreau, Catherine A.; Quadt, Katharina A.; Piirainen, Henni; Kumar, Hirdesh; Bhargav, Saligram P.; Strauss, Léanne; Tolia, Niraj H; Wade, Rebecca C.; Spatz, Joachim P; Kursula, Inari; Frischknecht, Friedrich (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      During transmission of malaria-causing parasites from mosquito to mammal, Plasmodium sporozoites migrate at high speed within the skin to access the bloodstream and infect the liver. This unusual gliding motility is based ...
    • Nuclear upregulation of class I phosphoinositide 3-kinase p110β correlates with high 47S rRNA levels in cancer cells 

      Mazloumi Gavgani, Fatemeh; Karlsson, Thomas; Tangen, Ingvild Løberg; Papdine Morovicz, Andrea; Arnesen, Victoria Smith; Turcu, Diana Cornelia; Ninzima, Sandra; Spang, Katharina Maria; Krakstad, Camilla; Guillermet-Guibert, Julie; Lewis, Aurelia Eva (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The class I phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) catalytic subunits p110α and p110β are ubiquitously expressed but differently targeted in tumours. In cancer, PIK3CB (encoding p110β) is seldom mutated compared with PIK3CA ...
