Table showing repertoire of P-loop NTPases of P. falciparum and their sequence characteristics. Expression profiles of each protein across the parasitic life cycle based on the transcriptome data as well as their annotation at PlasmoDB are also given. The hypothetical proteins which are assigned functional roles in this study are boxed and highlighted in bold. Proteins orthologous to prokaryotes are marked with ± and those orthologous to Arabidopsis thaliana are marked with *. SS, Signal Sequence; TM, trans-membrane region; S, sporozoite; ER, early ring; LR, late ring; ET, early trophozoite; ES, early schizont; LS, late schizont; and M, merozoites.
