چکیده
The immunosuppressant FK506 binds Plasmodium falciparum FK-506 binding protein 35 (PfFKBP35) and shows anti-malarial activity. To understand molecular mechanism of the drug on the parasite, we have done NMR studies. Here, we report the assignment of FK506-binding domain of PfFKBP35.

متن کاملSmall molecule Plasmodium FKBP35 inhibitor as a potential antimalaria agent
Malaria parasite strains have emerged to tolerate the therapeutic effects of the prophylactics and drugs presently available. This resistance now poses a serious challenge to researchers in the bid to overcome malaria parasitic infection. Recent studies have shown that FK520 and its analogs inhibit malaria parasites growth by binding to FK506 binding proteins (FKBPs) of the parasites. Structure...

Antimalarial chemotherapy continues to be challenging in view of the emergence of drug resistance, especially artemisinin resistance in Southeast Asia. It is critical that novel antimalarial drugs are identified that inhibit new targets with unexplored mechanisms of action. It has been demonstrated that the immunosuppressive drug rapamycin, which is currently in clinical use to prevent organ-tr...
متن کاملNMR assignments of the FK506-binding domain of FK506-binding protein 35 from Plasmodium vivax.
PvFKBP35 is a member of the FK506 binding protein family (FKBP) from Plasmodium vivax. The FK506-binding domain of PvFKBP35 shows a canonical peptidylprolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) activity. To understand the role of PvFKBP35 in the parasite, we have performed NMR studies. Here, we report the assignment of the FK506-binding domain of PvFKBP35.
متن کاملExpression, purification, and molecular characterization of Plasmodium falciparum FK506-binding protein 35 (PfFKBP35).
The immunosuppressive drug FK506 binds its targets FK506-binding protein (FKBP) family and modulates cellular processes. Recent studies demonstrated that FK506 shows anti-malaria effects. Newly identified FK506-binding protein 35 from Plasmodium falciparum (PfFKBP35) is assumed to be the molecular target of FK506 in the parasite. Currently, molecular and structural basis of growth inhibition of...
