An exported protein-interacting complex involved in the trafficking of virulence determinants in Plasmodium-infected erythrocytes

Plasmodium-infected red blood cells export virulence factors, such asPfEMP1, to the cell surface. Here, the authors identify a protein complex termed EPIC that interacts with PfEMP1 during export, and they show that knockdown of an EPIC component affects parasite virulence.
