Mature parasite-infected erythrocyte surface antigen

Mature parasite-infected erythrocyte surface antigen (MESA) is a 250-300 kDa-fibrillar phosphoprotein encoded by a gene on chromosome 5 (Cooke et ah, 2001). It has a 19 amino acid sequence that binds to the membrane cytoskeletal protein 4.1 (Waller et ah, 2003). The precise function of MESA is not known but parasites that do not express MESA are viable and cytoadhere. [Pg.198]
