Additional remarks phenotype | The gene has been targeted for gene deletion using a construct aimed at integration into the genome by double cross-over homologous recombination The gene has been targeted for disruption in a 'kinome-wide' study for deletion of genes encoding Plasmodium protein kinases (protein kinase-like proteins). See the paper for additional information on the analysis of the phenotype. Disruption of the P. falciparum ortholog has been attempted (Solyakov et al., 2011, Nat Commun, 2:565). |
