Involvement of Plasmodium falciparum protein kinase CK2 in the chromatin assembly pathway

Abstract

Background: Protein kinase CK2 is a pleiotropic serine/threonine protein kinase with hundreds of reported substrates, and plays an important role in a number of cellular processes. The cellular functions of Plasmodium falciparum CK2 (PfCK2) are unknown. The parasite's genome encodes one catalytic subunit, PfCK2 alpha, which we have previously shown to be essential for completion of the asexual erythrocytic cycle, and two putative regulatory subunits, PfCK2 beta 1 and PfCK2 beta 2.
