Pathogens can use surface proteins to limit immune responses, and the finding that merozoite surface protein 2 has this property could help in Plasmodium falciparum malaria vaccine development.
Endosomes operate several exit routes that sort protein cargo and depend on pathway-specific associations of a PROPPIN with the responsible protein coat, such as the here identified CROP2, to support the departure of the cargo carriers.
