A transcription factor helps Plasmodium falciparum gametocytogenesis take shape

The recent study by Campelo Morillo et al. has shown that one of the small number of non-ApiAP2 DNA-binding proteins in the Plasmodium falciparum genome acts as a transcription factor in the gametocytogenesis cascade and is responsible for the gametocyte’s distinctive morphology.
