SERINE-THREONINE PHOSPHATASE PROTEIN OF A PARASITIC ORGANISM OF THE APICOMPLEXA PHYLUM, APPLICATIONS IN THERAPEUTICS

摘要

The invention is directed to a new serine-threonine phosphatase protein of a parasitic organism of the Apicomplexa phylum and fragments thereof. More particularly, this invention is directed an active molecule capable of modulating the activity of such a protein. Furthermore, this invention is directed to uses of this protein for screening molecules capable of modulating the activity of a serine-threonine phosphatase protein of a parasitic organism of the Apicomplexa phylum, as well as for methods for preventing and treating parasitic infections.
