Description: The regulation of human Arf1 GTPase activity by ArfGEFs that stimulate GDP/GTP exchange and ArfGAPs that mediate GTP hydrolysis has attracted attention for the discovery of Arf1 inhibitors as potential anti-cancer agents. The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum encodes a Sec7 domain-containing protein - presumably an ArfGEF - and two putative ArfGAPs, as well as an Arf1 homologue (PfArf1) that is essential for blood-stage parasite viability. However, ArfGEF and ArfGAP-mediated activation/deactivation of PfArf1 has not been demonstrated.
