The AP2-G V2163L mutation abrogates sexual differentiation in Plasmodium falciparum.
Quoted textsource-backed
We discovered a single valine(V2163) to leucine(L2163) mutation in a transcription factor required for P. falciparum gametocytogenesis (AP2-G) that abrogates sexual differentiation.
AP2-G.L2163 does not bind the ap2-g consensus motif GnGTAC and does not stimulate gene transcription including autoregulation.
