Conserved RNA Binding Activity of Phosphatidyl Inositol 5-Phosphate 4-Kinase (PIP4K2A).

is a causative agent for malaria and has a complex life cycle in human and mosquito hosts. During its life cycle, the malarial parasite goes through different asexual and sexual stages, in humans and mosquitoes. Expression of stage-specific proteins is important for successful completion of its life cycle and requires tight gene regulation.
