Conditional deletion of the gene encoding PfPATPL1 does not affect asexual growth of blood-stage parasites or the formation of gametocytes. However, loss of PfPATPL1 results in reduced efficiency of rounding up, gamete egress, and exflagellation. Moreover, we demonstrate that PfPATPL1 plays a role in translocation of PfPLP2 to the periphery of gametes to enable egress. Importantly, loss of PfPATPL1 in gametocytes reduces transmission efficiency in mosquitos, identifying PfPATPL1 as a player in the process of gametogenesis and a potential target for development of drugs to block malaria transmission.
