Protonography, a sodium dodecyl sulfate -polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) technique derived from zymography was recently reported by our group to be an effective, cheap and reproducible technique for evidencing catalytically active alpha-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms, such as the bovine red blood cell isoform bCA or the bacterial enzyme from Vibrio cholerae, VchCA. CA activity was also observed on the protonogram of a cellular extract of Escherichia coli, evidencing the presence of one or more beta-class such enzymes. Here we show that protonography can also be applied to the recently discovered eta-CA family using the Plasmodium falciparum enzyme PfCA as an example. The protonogram of PfCA clearly showed catalytically active eta-CA with a specific band at 22.0 kDa, which was quite distinct from the band of the red blood cell bovine enzyme bCA, which was observed at 28.8 kDa. The different migration pattern of alpha- and eta-CAs might be a useful tool to detect Plasmodium falciparum in infected human red blood cells by an easy, routine inexpensive technique.
