项目摘要
Malaria is a blood-borne disease caused by apicomplexan parasites of the genus Plasmodium, which
causes more than a half million deaths per year. The life cycle alternates between a mosquito and a
human stage; in the latter stage merozoites invade red blood cells, a process that occurs in seconds.
Invasion into and egress from an infected host cell are powered by a multi-protein assembly called the
glideosome, the core of which is the class XIV myosin motor PfMyoA, making it a primary target against
malaria. This motor is anchored via its light chain subunit MTIP (myosin tail interacting protein) to integral
membrane proteins in a double-membraned flattened complex called the inner membrane complex
(IMC), which lies ~25nm below the plasma membrane. The Plasmodium actin isoform (PfAct1) that
interacts with PfMyoA is quite divergent in sequence from, and much more dynamic than, muscle actin.
Despite the importance of the parasite motor, knowledge of its structure, function, and regulation has
been limited primarily because PfMyoA to date has not been expressed in a heterologous system. The
Trybus laboratory has, however, recently discovered how to express milligram quantities of this motor
using the baculovirus/insect cell expression system. They have also expressed Plasmodium actin, which
allows actomyosin interactions to be studied with native isoforms. The Plasmodium motor and actin will
be characterized by a combination of state-of-the-art biochemical, biophysical, and high resolution
structural biological techniques. This is a multiple PI R01 grant: Trybus (protein expression,
biochemical/biophysical assays of Plasmodium myosin and actin, University of Vermont), Anne
Houdusse (crystallography, Institute Curie) and Dorit Hanein and Niels Volkmann (high resolution cryo-
electron microscopy and image reconstruction, Sanford Burnham Prebys Institute). In Aim 1 we will
determine how PfMyoA motor activity is regulated in the glideosome, and the mechanism by which small
molecules inhibit activity. Unloaded and loaded ensemble in vitro motility assays and transient kinetics
will be used to assess function. The goal of Aim 2 is to crystallize the Plasmodium falciparum class XIV
myosin for structure-function studies, and to determine the site of binding of small molecule inhibitors.
Aim 3 seeks to understand how the unique properties of Plasmodium actin and its interaction with
Plasmodium actin-binding proteins regulate actin dynamics and affect its ability to interact with PfMyoA.
In Aim 4 we will determine the structure of Plasmodium actin filaments, alone or decorated with PfMyoA,
at 5Å resolution or better by high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy. Taken together, these studies will
establish the molecular basis for Plasmodium glideosome activity.
疟疾是由疟原虫属的顶复门寄生虫引起的血液传播疾病,

入侵和离开受感染的宿主细胞是由一种多蛋白质组装提供动力的,
滑体,其核心是XIV类肌球蛋白马达PfMyoA,使其成为抗
疟疾该马达通过其轻链亚基MTIP(肌球蛋白尾相互作用蛋白)锚定到整合的
一种双膜扁平复合物中的膜蛋白,称为内膜复合物

与PfMyoA相互作用的蛋白质在序列上与肌肉肌动蛋白相当不同,并且比肌肉肌动蛋白更具动态性。
尽管寄生虫马达的重要性,但对其结构、功能和调节的了解,
主要是因为PfMyoA迄今尚未在异源系统中表达。的

确定PfMyoA运动活动如何在滑体中调节,以及小分子运动调节的机制。
分子抑制活性。体外运动试验和瞬时动力学中的卸载和加载集合

目的3旨在了解疟原虫肌动蛋白的独特性质及其与
疟原虫肌动蛋白结合蛋白调节肌动蛋白动力学,并影响其与PfMyoA相互作用的能力。
在目标4中,我们将确定疟原虫肌动蛋白丝的结构,单独或用PfMyoA修饰,
高分辨率冷冻电子显微镜的分辨率为5 μ m或更高。这些研究将
建立疟原虫滑动体活性的分子基础。
