抗药性影响了疟疾的控制。在这里,我们显示了对常用的抗疟疾药物阿托瓦酮的耐药性显然不能传播。阿托瓦酮压力选择具有细胞色素b突变的寄生虫,细胞色素b是一种呼吸蛋白,在寄生虫生命周期的哺乳动物血液阶段具有低但必不可少的活性。抗药性突变将寄生虫从药物中拯救出来,但后来证明在蚊子阶段是致命的,在蚊子阶段,寄生虫需要完全呼吸。由于不能有效地呼吸,抗药性寄生虫无法完成蚊子的发育,从而阻止了它们的生命周期。由于细胞色素b是由母系遗传的寄生虫线粒体编码的,即使与野生型菌株异交也不能促进耐药性的传播。缺乏传播表明,耐药性将无法在田间传播,从而极大地提高阿托瓦酮在疟疾控制中的效用。
Drug resistance compromises control of malaria. Here, we show that resistance to a commonly used antimalarial medication, atovaquone, is apparently unable to spread. Atovaquone pressure selects parasites with mutations in cytochrome b, a respiratory protein with low but essential activity in the mammalian blood phase of the parasite life cycle. Resistance mutations rescue parasites from the drug but later prove lethal in the mosquito phase, where parasites require full respiration. Unable to respire efficiently, resistant parasites fail to complete mosquito development, arresting their life cycle. Because cytochrome b is encoded by the maternally inherited parasite mitochondrion, even outcrossing with wild-type strains cannot facilitate spread of resistance. Lack of transmission suggests that resistance will be unable to spread in the field, greatly enhancing the utility of atovaquone in malaria control.
