abstract = {An effective malaria vaccine remains a global health
priority and vaccine immunogens which prevent transmission
of the parasite will have important roles in multi-component
vaccines. One of the most promising candidates for inclusion
in a transmission-blocking malaria vaccine is the gamete
surface protein Pfs48/45, which is essential for development
of the parasite in the mosquito midgut. Indeed, antibodies
which bind Pfs48/45 can prevent transmission if ingested
with the parasite as part of the mosquito bloodmeal. Here we
present the structure of full-length Pfs48/45, showing its
three domains to form a dynamic, planar, triangular
arrangement. We reveal where transmission-blocking and
non-blocking antibodies bind on Pfs48/45. Finally, we
demonstrate that antibodies which bind across this molecule
can be transmission-blocking. These studies will guide the
development of future Pfs48/45-based vaccine immunogens.},
