The biosynthesis of 3 proteins of Mr [molecular ratio] 260,000, 59,000 and 53,000 previously identified on the surface of extracellular gametes of P. falciparum as the targets of monoclonal antibodies which block infectivity of P. falciparum to mosquitoes were studied. In cultures of P. falciparum pulse labeled with [35S]methionine it was found that these proteins are synthesized by gametocytes from an early stage in their maturation but are not synthesized by asexual blood stage parasites. The target proteins synthesized by the gametocytes become expressed on the surface of the extracellular gametes but the gametes themselves no longer synthesize these proteins. The 59,000 and 53,000 Mr proteins do not result from processing from the 260,000 Mr protein. The 59,000 and 53,000 Mr protein, but not the 260,000 Mr protein, were glycosylated by either glucosamine or mannose.
