In vivo time course of synthesis and processing of major schizont membrane polypeptides in Plasmodium falciparum
Abstract
A rapid method of separating membrane co-sedimentable and soluble components of Plasmodium infected erythrocytes is presented. We propose a nomenclature for major P. falciparum polypeptides, applicable to different isolates and based on their cellular location and stage specificity. For four of these polypeptides (185 kDa = Mp1; 120 kDa = Mp3; 76 kDa = Mp5; 90 kDa= Sp2) supposed to play a role in protective immunity, monospecific antibodies were available. We have studied their fate at the time of merozoïte release and reinvasion, and the possible correlations between these polypeptides, by pulse-chase experiments.
