Cell Division in Plasmodium
Document Type:Research Paper
Subject Area:Biology
This is precisely peculiar concerning the mammals’ form of reproduction. There are however some common points that can only be realized when the processes are deeply dug into (Wall et al. The procedures in Plasmodium replication are categorically different from those in most of the eukaryotes. There exist detailed descriptions of the variations in morphological structures, but the same cannot be said for the molecular activities that are involved. The division of cells in mammals is by open mitosis where spindles are formed and later on followed by disintegration of nuclear envelopes. The entire cycle here is driven by Anaphase Promoting Complex/Cyclosome, APC/C. This is a ubiquitin ligase responsible for the promotion of cell division through the attachment of securin and cyclin B1.
These are promoters and have been associated with the mammalian components (Wall et al. The Plasmodium parasite is, however, able to decode up to four of the APC/C elements. These are the APC11, APC3, APC10, and CDC20 (Wall et al. The processes here are spindle formation and the control of the checkpoints (Valente et al. Conclusion In conclusion, there is an absolute correlation between cell division in all organisms and the activities of the Golgi apparatus. This is subject to the functions carried out by the organelle. The functions here are mediations, sorting, modifications, and the transportation of synthesized lipids and proteins. These are crucial for any cell multiplication process, and that is why the disassembly during mitosis is also necessary.
