Word Map on EC 3.4.23.B14

Reaction

cleavage of hemoglobin. In the S3 and S2 subsites, the plasmepsin 4 orthologs all prefer hydrophobic amino acid residues, Phe or Ile, but reject charged residues such as Lys or Asp. In S2' and S3' subsites these plasmepsins tolerate both hydrophobic and hydrophilic residues =

construction of 1092cl4 and 1092cl6, two parasite lines deficient in expressing PM4, by gene disruption, and of mutant lines 688cl2 and 688cl3. PM4 deficiency results in significantly less virulence than that for the parental parasite. Enzyme-deficient parasites fail to induce experimental cerebral malaria in susceptible mice, and resistant mice are able to clear infections. The mutant acts as vaccine, immunity through antibody-mediated parasite clearance in the spleen, virulence-attenuated phenotypes, overview
