physiological function |
enzyme is essential for asexual intraerythrocytic growth. Overexpression of the long, active or a truncated, non-active version of the protein by stable integration of the expression cassette in the parasite genome results in changes of H4 acetylation and cell cycle progression. Overexpressing parasites shows changes in sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents |
