Plasmodium cynomolgi: the hsp 70 gene.
The hsp 70 gene of Plasmodium cynomolgi was isolated and characterized. As expected the gene is highly similar to that of the hsp 70 gene of Plasmodium falciparum (98% at the protein level, 82% at the nucleotide level). Surprisingly, the hsp 70 gene appears to be present in a single copy in all the P. cynomolgi strains tested, a finding that has implications for the parasite's ability to undergo a heat shock response.
