GO Term : GO:0020036 Maurer's cleft GO

Namespace:  cellular_component Obsolete:  false
description  A disk-like structure that appears at the periphery of a red blood cell infected by an apicomplexan parasite, characterized by a translucent lumen and an electron-dense coat of variable thickness; often appears to be tethered to the host cell membrane by fibrous connections with the erythrocyte cytoskeleton.

GO:0030430 host cell cytoplasm The cytoplasm of a host cell.
GO:0005575 cellular_component The part of a cell or its extracellular environment in which a gene product is located. A gene product may be located in one or more parts of a cell and its location may be as specific as a particular macromolecular complex, that is, a stable, persistent association of macromolecules that function together.
GO:0044215 other organism A secondary organism with which the first organism is interacting.
GO:0018995 host Any organism in which another organism, especially a parasite or symbiont, spends part or all of its life cycle and from which it obtains nourishment and/or protection.
GO:0033643 host cell part Any constituent part of a host cell. The host is defined as the larger of the organisms involved in a symbiotic interaction.
GO:0043657 host cell A cell within a host organism. Includes the host plasma membrane and any external encapsulating structures such as the host cell wall and cell envelope.

GO:0044217 other organism part Any constituent part of a secondary organism with which the first organism is interacting.
GO:0033646 host intracellular part Any constituent part of the living contents of a host cell; the matter contained within (but not including) the plasma membrane, usually taken to exclude large vacuoles and masses of secretory or ingested material. In eukaryotes it includes the nucleus and cytoplasm. The host is defined as the larger of the organisms involved in a symbiotic interaction.
GO:0044216 other organism cell A cell of a secondary organism with which the first organism is interacting.
GO:0033655 host cell cytoplasm part Any constituent part of the host cell cytoplasm, all of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. The host is defined as the larger of the organisms involved in a symbiotic interaction.
