In the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei, it has been shown that many genes are transcribed but not translated in the G, which is regulated by a mechanism--termed "translational repression" mediated by DDX6-class RNA helicase, DOZI (development of zygote inhibited)--found in a complex with mRNA species in cytoplasmic bodies [40-42]. Here, DDX6 is linked to malaria.
