The Armadillo repeat protein PF16 is essential for flagellar structure and function in Plasmodium male gametes. by Ursula Straschil, Arthur M Talman, David J P Ferguson, Karen A Bunting, Zhengyao Xu, Elizabeth Bailes, Robert E Sinden, Anthony A Holder, Elizabeth F Smith, Juliet C Coates, Rita Tewari

“…Using homology modelling, bioinformatics analysis and complementation studies in Chlamydomonas, we show that some regions of the PF16 protein are highly conserved across all eukaryotes, whereas other regions may have species-specific functions. PF16 is the first ARM-repeat protein characterised in the malaria parasite genus Plasmodium and this study opens up a novel model for analysis of Plasmodium flagellar biology that may provide unique insights into an ancient organelle and suggest novel intervention strategies to control the malaria parasite.…”

Structural and functional roles of conserved residues of human papillomavirus (HPV) E2 protein and biological consequences by Sean Fletcher, Esther E. Biswas-Fiss, Subhasis B. Biswas

“…The HPV E2 protein is a central regulator of viral replication and oncogene expression, making it a critical determinant of HPV-associated malignancies. While its core functions are conserved, variations within the E2 protein are thought to contribute to the differential oncogenic potential among HPV types, though the structural basis for this remains incompletely understood. …”
