Proteome mapping of Plasmodium: identification of the P. yoelii remodellome
Plasmodium associated virulence in the host is linked to extensive remodelling of the host erythrocyte by parasite proteins that form the "remodellome". However, without a common motif or structure available to identify these proteins, little is known about the proteins that are destined to reside in the parasite periphery, the host-cell cytoplasm and/or the erythrocyte membrane. Here, the subc...
متن کاملPlasmoSEP: Predicting surface-exposed proteins on the malaria parasite using semisupervised self-training and expert-annotated data
Accurate and comprehensive identification of surface-exposed proteins (SEPs) in parasites is a key step in developing novel subunit vaccines. However, the reliability of MS-based high-throughput methods for proteome-wide mapping of SEPs continues to be limited due to high rates of false positives (i.e., proteins mistakenly identified as surface exposed) as well as false negatives (i.e., SEPs no...
متن کاملTotal and putative surface proteomics of malaria parasite salivary gland sporozoites.
Malaria infections of mammals are initiated by the transmission of Plasmodium salivary gland sporozoites during an Anopheles mosquito vector bite. Sporozoites make their way through the skin and eventually to the liver, where they infect hepatocytes. Blocking this initial stage of infection is a promising malaria vaccine strategy. Therefore, comprehensively elucidating the protein composition o...
متن کاملAssessment and improvement of the Plasmodium yoelii yoelii genome annotation through comparative analysis
MOTIVATION The sequencing of the Plasmodium yoelii genome, a model rodent malaria parasite, has greatly facilitated research for the development of new drug and vaccine candidates against malaria. Unfortunately, only preliminary gene models were annotated on the partially sequenced genome, mostly by in silico gene prediction, and there has been no major improvement of the annotation since 2002....
متن کاملGene structure and ookinete expression of the chitinase genes of Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium yoelii.
After ingestion by mosquitoes, malaria parasites fertilize in the midgut and develop into motile ookinetes, which penetrate the chitin-containing peritrophic matrix and midgut epithelium cells to develop into oocysts . Chitinase activity is critical for ookinetes to penetrate the peritrophic matrix. Recently, genes encoding chitinases were identified in Plasmodium gallinaceum (pgcht1), Plasmodi...
