Phosphoproteomic Comparison of Four <i>Eimeria tenella</i> Life Cycle Stages

Protein phosphorylation is an important post-translational modification (PTM) involved in diverse cellular functions. It is the most prevalent PTM in both <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i> and <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i>, but its status in <i>Eimeria tenella</i> has not b...

Phosphoproteomic Comparison of Four <i>Eimeria tenella</i> Life Cycle Stages
description Protein phosphorylation is an important post-translational modification (PTM) involved in diverse cellular functions. It is the most prevalent PTM in both <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i> and <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i>, but its status in <i>Eimeria tenella</i> has not been reported.
