Biochemical and cellular characterisation of the Plasmodium falciparum M1 alanyl aminopeptidase (PfM1AAP) and M17 leucyl aminopeptidase (PfM17LAP)

Rency Mathew et al.

Summary: The Plasmodium falciparum M1 alanyl aminopeptidase and M17 leucyl aminopeptidase may be potential targets for novel anti-malarial drug development, as inhibitors of these enzymes have shown efficacy in killing malaria parasites and reducing their growth. These enzymes are likely functioning in the cytoplasm of the parasite, involved in the degradation of haemoglobin-derived peptides.

Heme Detoxification in the Malaria Parasite: A Target for Antimalarial Drug Development

Katherine A. de Villiers et al.

Summary: During the past century, malaria deaths have significantly decreased, but there were still 405,000 deaths in 2018. Advances in the 21st century have largely been due to insecticide-treated bed nets and artemisinin combination therapy. Parasites with delayed artemisinin clearance phenotypes in Southeast Asia pose a threat to further progress.

How Malaria Parasites Acquire Nutrients From Their Host

Natalie A. Counihan et al.

Summary: Plasmodium parasites residing within erythrocytes require essential nutrients like isoleucine, which they cannot synthesize themselves. To overcome this limitation, the parasites increase the permeability of the erythrocyte membrane and utilize new permeation pathways. Additionally, nutrient channels need to cross the parasitophorous vacuole membrane and the parasite plasma membrane to access the parasite, making components of these pathways potential drug targets for fighting malaria.

IPC 2.0: prediction of isoelectric point and pKa dissociation constants

Lukasz Pawel Kozlowski

Summary: The isoelectric point is the pH at which a molecule is electrically neutral, dependent on factors like charged groups from amino acids in proteins and peptides, and is used in experiments like 2D gel electrophoresis and computational predictions. IPC 2.0, utilizing a mix of deep learning and support vector regression models, outperforms previous algorithms in predicting proteins and peptides' isoelectric points with higher accuracy. Additionally, the web server's prediction of pK(a) values using sequence data alone is better and faster than structure-based methods.
