Expression of the RESA gene in Plasmodium falciparum isolate FCR3 is prevented by a subtelomeric deletion
Abstract
We show here that the Plasmodium falciparum isolate FCR3 does not express the ring-infected erythrocyte surface antigen (RESA). This is because the 5' end of the RESA gene has been inverted and partly deleted and a telomere has been added to it. We propose a model to explain these events.
