Sulphated tyrosines mediate association of chemokines and Plasmodium vivax Duffy binding protein with the Duffy antigen/receptor for chemokines (DARC)

Summary Plasmodium vivax is one of four Plasmodium species that cause human malaria. P. vivax and a related simian malaria parasite, Plasmodium knowlesi , invade erythrocytes by binding the Duffy antigen/receptor for chemokines (DARC) through their respective Duffy binding proteins. Here we show …
