Protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium cause malaria and involve infection multiple hosts cell types during life cycle. Producing sexually fit gametocytes is essential for transmitting parasite into an anopheline mosquito vector. After uptake parasites, male undergo three rounds DNA replication to produce eight nucleated flagellar gametes. Here, we report that actin-like proteins Alp5a Alp5b are involved in segregation gametogenesis. The Plasmodium-specific paralogous genes superimposed...
Mycobacterium tuberculosis poses a serious challenge for human health, and new antibiotics with novel targets are needed. Here we demonstrate that an acylaminooxadiazole, MBX-4132, specifically inhibits the trans-translation ribosome rescue pathway to kill M. tuberculosis. Our data MBX-4132 is bactericidal against multiple pathogenic mycobacterial species kills in macrophages. We also show acylaminooxadiazole activity antagonized by iron but potentiated zinc. transcriptomic reveal...
Plasmodium sporozoites are the infective forms of malaria parasite in mosquito and vertebrate host. Gliding motility allows to migrate invade salivary glands mammalian hosts. Motility invasion powered by an actin-myosin motor complex linked glideosome, which contains glideosome-associated proteins (GAPs), MyoA myosin A tail-interacting protein (MTIP). However, role several involved gliding remains unknown. We identified that S14 gene is upregulated sporozoite from transcriptome data yoelii...

Abstract The human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum genome is among the most A + T rich, with low complexity regions (LCRs) inserted in coding sequences including those for proteins targeted to its essential relict plastid (apicoplast). Replication of apicoplast (plDNA), mediated by atypical multifunctional DNA polymerase PfPrex, would require additional enzymatic functions lagging strand processing. We identified an apicoplast-targeted, [4Fe–4S]-containing, FEN/Exo (PfExo) a long LCR...
Abstract Plasmodium sporozoites are the infective forms of malaria parasite in vertebrate host. Gliding motility allows to migrate and invade salivary gland hepatocytes. Invasion is powered by an actin-myosin motor complex linked glideosome. However, gliding role several glideosome-associated proteins (GAPs) poorly understood. In silico analysis a novel protein, S14, which uniquely upregulated sporozoites, suggested its association with proteins. We confirmed S14 expression using real-time...
