“…The P. falciparum genome also encodes for ten bromodomain-containing proteins namely, Bromodomain Proteins 1-7 (PfBDP1, PfBDP2, PfBDP3, PfBDP4, PfBDP5, PfBDP6, PfBDP7, PfBDP8, GCN5 (histone acetyltransferase GCN5), and SET1 (SET domain protein 1)), which likely recognize acetylated lysine modifications. Recent studies on PfBDP1 have shown that it is a multi-domain protein with a predicted ankyrin repeat in the N-terminal region, and a bromodomain (BRD) near the C-terminus [16,24,[27][28][29]. PfBDP1 is thought to play an important role in the activation of invasion-related genes in the asexual stage as its knockdown drastically affects the replication of P. falciparum in red blood cells.…”
