Abstract

WD40-repeat proteins have four to eight repeating units flanked by Gly-His (GH) and Trp-Asp (WD) at both termini and folds into a beta-propeller. A polypeptide deduced from a Clonorchis sinensis cDNA clone analyzed to have seven WD40-repeats and predicted to form a beta-propeller (CsWD1). The CsWD1 protein was expressed stage-specifically in the metacercariae and localized in the tegumental syncytium. The CsWD1 protein is suggested to serve as a platform for interacting partner proteins in the tegumental syncytium of C. sinensis metacercariae.
