Complementation of Essential Yeast GPI Mannosyltransferase Mutations Suggests a Novel Specificity for Certain Trypanosoma and Plasmodium PigB Proteins
The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor is an essential glycolipid that tethers certain eukaryotic proteins to the cell surface. The core structure of the GPI anchor is remarkably well conserved across evolution and consists of NH2-CH2-CH2-PO4-6Manα1,2Manα1,6Manα1,4-GlcNα1,6-myo-inositol-PO4-lipid. The glycan portion of this structure may be modified with various side-branching sugars or ...
متن کاملPlasmodium falciparum has rare correlation properties
A plot of the correlation function of a given DNA sequence has certain characteristic features common to almost all organisms. One common feature is that the correlation values at distances that are multiples of three is higher than correlation values at other distances. Because of this such a correlation plot can be divided into two or three curves with different scalings. P. falciparum has a ...
متن کاملUnravelling the immune signature of Plasmodium falciparum transmission-reducing immunity
Infection with Plasmodium can elicit antibodies that inhibit parasite survival in the mosquito, when they are ingested in an infectious blood meal. Here, we determine the transmission-reducing activity (TRA) of naturally acquired antibodies from 648 malaria-exposed individuals using lab-based mosquito-feeding assays. Transmission inhibition is significantly associated with antibody responses to...
متن کاملMultiprotein complex between the GPI-anchored CyRPA with PfRH5 and PfRipr is crucial for Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte invasion.
Erythrocyte invasion by Plasmodium falciparum merozoites is a highly intricate process in which Plasmodium falciparum reticulocyte binding-like homologous protein 5 (PfRH5) is an indispensable parasite ligand that binds with its erythrocyte receptor, Basigin. PfRH5 is a leading blood-stage vaccine candidate because it exhibits limited polymorphisms and elicits potent strain-transcending parasit...
متن کاملsequence diversity of pfmdr1 and sequence conserve of pldh in plasmodium falciparum from indonesia: its implications on designing a novel antimalarial drug with less prone to resistance.
background: pfmdr1 and its variants are molecular marker which are responsible for antibiotics resistance in plasmodium falciparum, a parasitic carrier for malaria dis-ease. a novel strategy to treat malaria disease is by disrupting parasite lactate dehy-drogenase (pldh), a crucial enzyme for plasmodium survival during their erythro-cytic stages. this research was aimed to investigate and chara...
