evolution | enzyme SOPT has a PEXEL-like sequence, is predicted to contain a subtilisin-like fold with a non-canonical catalytic triad, and is orthologous to Plasmodium falciparum SOPT. The function of SOPT is conserved in different Plasmodium species, overview | Plasmodium berghei |

malfunction | SOPT-deficient parasites develop normally through the asexual and sexual stages and produce equivalent numbers of ookinetes to NF54 controls, but they form fewer oocysts and sporozoites in mosquitoes | Plasmodium falciparum |
malfunction | the mutant PbDELTASOPT/PIMMS2 produces low numbers of salivary gland sporozoites | Plasmodium berghei |

physiological function | Plasmodium berghei PbSOPT/PIMMS2 is dispensable for ookinete development, and PbSOPT/PIMMS2 is dispensable for sporozoite infectivity and establishing patency. PIMMS2 is involved in midgut traversal in Anopheles gambiae. SOPT facilitates transmission of Plasmodium berghei ookinetes to mosquitoes | Plasmodium berghei |
physiological function | Plasmodium falciparum subtilisin-like ookinete protein SOPT plays an important and conserved role during ookinete infection of the Anopheles stephensi midgut. It may be involved in infecting the human or mosquito host. SOPT facilitates transmission of Plasmodium falciparum ookinetes to mosquitoes | Plasmodium falciparum |
