Predicted PPIs related to parasite invasion. (a) Predicted network consisted of 205 interactions. Network was visualized using Cytoscape [35]. Red nodes of this network represent P. falciparum proteins, and blue nodes represent human proteins. Node size was scaled to node degree such that larger node size indicates higher node degree. The text in each node represents gene symbol or gene name. (b) mRNA expression of SNAREs (PfSYN17 and PfSYN6) from a published microarray dataset. The peak expression timepoints of these genes were 42 h.
