Influence of Erythrocyte Membrane Components on Malaria Merozoite Invasion
Chymotrypsin- and Pronase-treated human erythrocytes were refractory to invasion by P. knowlesi merozoites; invasion was not inhibited by trypsin or neurammidase treatment. These data implicate a surface protein other than sialoglycoprotein as the receptor site for merozoites. Invasion of rhesus erythrocytes was unaffected by pretreatment with these enzymes. Differences in membrane structure of...
متن کاملIntramembrane proteolysis mediates shedding of a key adhesin during erythrocyte invasion by the malaria parasite
Apicomplexan pathogens are obligate intracellular parasites. To enter cells, they must bind with high affinity to host cell receptors and then uncouple these interactions to complete invasion. Merozoites of Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite responsible for the most dangerous form of malaria, invade erythrocytes using a family of adhesins called Duffy binding ligand-erythrocyte binding protein...
متن کاملNormocyte-binding protein required for human erythrocyte invasion by the zoonotic malaria parasite Plasmodium knowlesi.
The dominant cause of malaria in Malaysia is now Plasmodium knowlesi, a zoonotic parasite of cynomolgus macaque monkeys found throughout South East Asia. Comparative genomic analysis of parasites adapted to in vitro growth in either cynomolgus or human RBCs identified a genomic deletion that includes the gene encoding normocyte-binding protein Xa (NBPXa) in parasites growing in cynomolgus RBCs ...
متن کاملSuper-resolution dissection of coordinated events during malaria parasite invasion of the human erythrocyte.
Erythrocyte invasion by the merozoite is an obligatory stage in Plasmodium parasite infection and essential to malaria disease progression. Attempts to study this process have been hindered by the poor invasion synchrony of merozoites from the only in vitro culture-adapted human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. Using fluorescence, three-dimensional structured illumination, and immunoele...
متن کاملDisrupting malaria parasite AMA1 – RON2 interaction with a small molecule prevents erythrocyte invasion
Plasmodium falciparum resistance to artemisinin derivatives, the first-line antimalarial drug, drives the search for new classes of chemotherapeutic agents. Current discovery is primarily directed against the intracellular forms of the parasite. However, late schizont-infected red blood cells (RBCs) may still rupture and cause disease by sequestration; consequently targeting invasion may reduce...
