Abstract

The central role played by protein phosphorylation in the regulation of eukaryotic cellular processes calls for detailed investigations of this phenomenon in malaria parasites. Here, we describe protocols to measure the activity of protein kinases (using either recombinant proteins or native enzymes purified from parasite extracts), and outline procedures to identify phosphorylation sites on parasite proteins following a mass spectrometry approach.
