Malarial parasite hexokinase and hexokinase-dependent glutathione reduction in the Plasmodium falciparum-infected human erythrocyte.
The metabolism of glucose in Plasmodium falciparum-infected human erythrocytes is increased 50- to 100-fold. This is accomplished in part by parasite-directed synthesis of a protozoan hexokinase with unique kinetic, electrophoretic, and heat stability properties. The total hexokinase activity is increased approximately 25-fold over that of control uninfected erythrocytes of the same age from th...
متن کاملSecretion of a malarial histidine-rich protein (Pf HRP II) from Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes
Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes (IRBCs) synthesize several histidine-rich proteins (HRPs) that accumulate high levels of [3H]histidine but very low levels of amino acids such as [3H]isoleucine or [35S]methionine. We prepared a monoclonal antibody which reacts specifically with one of these HRPs (Pf HRP II) and studied the location and synthesis of this protein during the parasite's ...
متن کاملIdentification of a strain-specific malarial antigen exposed on the surface of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes
We have identified strain-specific antigens with Camp and St. Lucia strains of P. falciparum of Mr approximately 285,000 and approximately 260,000, respectively. These strain-specific antigens were metabolically labeled with radioactive amino acids, indicating that they were of parasite origin rather than altered host components. These proteins had the properties of a molecule exposed on the su...
متن کاملIdentification of Protein Markers in Patients Infected with Plasmodium knowlesi, Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax
Malaria is caused by parasitic protozoans of the genus Plasmodium and is one of the most prevalent infectious diseases in tropical and subtropical regions. For this reason, effective and practical diagnostic methods are urgently needed to control the spread of malaria. The aim of the current study was to identify a panel of new malarial markers, which could be used to diagnose patients infected...
متن کاملSurvival strategies of the malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum
Plasmodium falciparum, the protozoan parasite causing falciparum malaria, is undoubtedly highly versatile when it comes to survival and defence strategies. Strategies adopted by the asexual blood stages of Plasmodium range from unique pathways of nutrient uptake to immune evasion strategies and multiple drug resistance. Studying the survival strategies of Plasmodium could help us envisage strat...
