Co2+ | stimulates | Plasmodium falciparum | |
Mg2+ | required | Plasmodium falciparum | |
Mg2+ | required, the active site of TgPPase contains two bound Mg2+ ions. One Mg2+ is bound at M1 site coordinated by Asp190, Asp195, and Asp227. The Mg2+ is bound to protein in M2 site predominantly through water molecules and Asp195. The observed conformation in the active site represents a state where both phosphates have already dissociated | Toxoplasma gondii | |
Mn2+ | stimulates | Plasmodium falciparum | |
additional information | the enzyme activity depends on Mg2+. Other divalent cations such as Co2+, Zn2+ and Mn2+ stimulate diphosphate hydrolysis but with lower efficiency. The relative PfPPase diphosphate activity confers by divalent metal ions fell in the descending order Mg2+, Co2+ and Zn2+, Mn2+. But Zn2+ is the preferred cofactor for hydrolysis of polyP3 and ATP | Plasmodium falciparum | |
Zn2+ | stimulates, Zn2+ is the preferred co-factor for hydrolysis of polyP3 and ATP | Plasmodium falciparum |

additional information | PfPPase is a cytosolic enzyme whose gene expression is upregulated during parasite asexual stages. Its expression increased relative to ring stage, during late trophozoite/early schizont and reduced again when schizonts mature. Protein expression occurs during all three stages but with higher expression during the trophozoite stage | Plasmodium falciparum | - |

evolution | PPases include membrane associated V-H+-PPases (vacuolar H+-translocating PPases) and soluble form PPases, where latter comprise two families that differ in their sequence and structure. Family I PPases are Mg2+ dependent enzymes known to exist as homo-hexamers in prokaryotes and dimers in eukaryotes6. Family II PPases are Mn2+-dependent enzymes with bi-domain structures, and active in dimeric or trimeric forms. Structure comparisons of the enzyme from Plasmodium falciparum (PfPPase) and Toxoplasma gondii (TgPPase), overview. Comparison of eukaryotic family I PPases reveal diversity in dimerization modes | Toxoplasma gondii |
