Mutants show a small decrease in the proliferation rate in mice compared to wild type blood stages.The growth phase of the asexual blood stages is extended by up to 20%. Analysis of the cell cycle by flow cytometry as well as transcriptional analyses revealed that the duration of the S and M phases during schizogony and the number of daughter merozoites per schizont were not detectably affected, but that the G1 phase (development of the ring form into the mature trophozoite) is elongated.
