An erythrocyte cytoskeleton-binding motif in exported Plasmodium falciparum proteins.
Binding of exported malaria parasite proteins to the host cell membrane and cytoskeleton contributes to the morphological, functional, and antigenic changes seen in Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes. One such exported protein that targets the erythrocyte cytoskeleton is the mature parasite-infected erythrocyte surface antigen (MESA), which interacts with the N-terminal 30-kDa domain o...
متن کاملExported Epoxide Hydrolases Modulate Erythrocyte Vasoactive Lipids during Plasmodium falciparum Infection
Erythrocytes are reservoirs of important epoxide-containing lipid signaling molecules, including epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs). EETs function as vasodilators and anti-inflammatory modulators in the bloodstream. Bioactive EETs are hydrolyzed to less active diols (dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids) by epoxide hydrolases (EHs). The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum infects host red blood cells...
متن کاملPlasmodium falciparum STEVOR proteins impact erythrocyte mechanical properties.
Infection of erythrocytes with the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, results in dramatic changes to the host cell structure and morphology. The predicted functional localization of the STEVOR proteins at the erythrocyte surface suggests that they may be involved in parasite-induced modifications of the erythrocyte membrane during parasite development. To address the biologic functi...
متن کاملThe Binding of Plasmodium falciparum Adhesins and Erythrocyte Invasion Proteins to Aldolase Is Enhanced by Phosphorylation
Aldolase has been implicated as a protein coupling the actomyosin motor and cell surface adhesins involved in motility and host cell invasion in the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. It binds to the cytoplasmic domain (CTD) of type 1 membrane proteins of the thrombospondin-related anonymous protein (TRAP) family. Other type 1 membrane proteins located in the apical organelles of mer...
متن کاملSurface proteins of Plasmodium falciparum merozoites binding to the erythrocyte receptor, glycophorin
Invasion of erythrocytes by the malarial parasite is a receptor-mediated process. P. falciparum merozoites recognize and bind to erythrocyte surface sialoglycoproteins, glycophorins A and B, and the glycophorins bind to saturable sites on the merozoite surface. The purpose of the present work was to identify a receptor or ligand molecule on the merozoite surface that mediates binding to the ery...
