Published: September 2022

In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Vijayan and colleagues identify host factors integral for Plasmodium liver-stage infection using a whole-genome CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screen. Their efforts reveal that liver-stage parasites redistribute host microtubules to the parasite membrane in a process dependent on the host Golgi.

Background: X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a female-specific process in which one X chromosome is silenced to balance X-linked gene expression between the sexes. XCI is initiated in early development by upregulation of the lncRNA Xist on the future inactive X (Xi). A subset of X-linked genes escape silencing and thus have higher expression in females, suggesting female-specific functions.
