Anopheles mosquito is a vector of Plasmodium parasite, the causative agent of malaria. The Anopheles leucine-rich repeat (LRR) proteins were described as key antagonists of Plasmodium parasites in Anopheles mosquito midgut. APL1C (Anopheles Plasmodium-responsive factor) is a representative of LRR members which specifically protects against rodent malaria parasites by stabilizing the complement-like protein TEP1. By combining cell biology with functional genomic approaches, this study shows that mosquito bloodmeal induce the presence of an extracellular layer of APL1C protein surrounding the midgut beneath of the basal lamina. Consistently with the formation of this layer, APL1C binds to the ookinetes that emerged on the basal side of the mi...
