Distinct biology associated with mature gametocytes. Processes of importance include lipid metabolism, protein synthesis, signaling and oxidative metabolism, including mitochondrial respiration. Proteins that are essential to parasite survival (www.phenoPlasm.org) are indicated by a * (for gametocytes) or ^# (for ABS stages) and those indicated as druggable by chemical inhibition are indicated in grey bordered text. Genes refractory to manipulation indicating essentiality are underlined. EM, erythrocyte membrane; PVM, parasitophorous vacuole membrane; IMC, inner membrane complex; ER, Endoplasmic reticulum; A, acidocalcisome; OB, osmiophillic body; T, transporter; PPM, parasite plasma membrane; FV, food vacuole; N, nucleus; M, mitochondrion and R, ribosome. Protein names are explained in text. Created and modified with BioRender.com.
