The parasitophorous vacuole of the blood-stage malaria parasite

JM Matz, JR Beck, MJ Blackman - Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2020 - nature.com
… berghei parasite and of GFP from another never leads to signal overlap in dually infected
mouse erythrocytes (JM Matz, personal communication). Furthermore, the vacuole does not …

Plasmodium's bottomless pit: properties and functions of the malaria parasite's digestive vacuole

JM Matz - Trends in Parasitology, 2022 - cell.com
During intraerythrocytic growth, the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum degrades
up to 80% of the host cell's hemoglobin inside an acidified organelle called the digestive …

Characterization and regulation of cold-induced heat shock protein expression in mouse brown adipose tissue

JM Matz, MJ Blake, HM Tatelman… - American Journal …, 1995 - journals.physiology.org
The accumulation of heat shock proteins (HSPs) after the exposure of cells or organisms to

Two putative protein export regulators promote Plasmodium blood stage development in vivo

JM Matz, K Matuschewski, TWA Kooij - Molecular and biochemical …, 2013 - Elsevier
Protein export is considered an essential feature of malaria parasite blood stage development.
Here, we examined five components of the candidate Plasmodium translocon of exported …

Towards genome-wide experimental genetics in the in vivo malaria model parasite Plasmodium berghei

JM Matz, TWA Kooij - Pathogens and global health, 2015 - Taylor & Francis
Plasmodium berghei was identified as a parasite of thicket rats (Grammomys dolichurus) and
Anopheles dureni mosquitoes in African highland forests. Successful adaptation to a range …

The role of Plasmodium V-ATPase in vacuolar physiology and antimalarial drug uptake

…, MJ Blackman, TW Gilberger, JM Matz - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - National Acad Sciences
To ensure their survival in the human bloodstream, malaria parasites degrade up to 80% of
the host erythrocyte hemoglobin in an acidified digestive vacuole. Here, we combine …

[HTML][HTML] The Plasmodium berghei translocon of exported proteins reveals spatiotemporal dynamics of tubular extensions

JM Matz, C Goosmann, V Brinkmann, J Grützke… - Scientific reports, 2015 - nature.com
The erythrocyte is an extraordinary host cell for intracellular pathogens and requires extensive
remodelling to become permissive for infection. Malaria parasites modify their host red …

A lipocalin mediates unidirectional heme biomineralization in malaria parasites

JM Matz, B Drepper, TB Blum… - Proceedings of the …, 2020 - National Acad Sciences
During blood-stage development, malaria parasites are challenged with the detoxification of
enormous amounts of heme released during the proteolytic catabolism of erythrocytic …
