摘要: The Plasmodium falciparum food vacuole (FV) is a lysosome-like organelle where erythrocyte hemoglobin digestion occurs. It favorite target in the development of antimalarials. We have used tandem mass spectrometry approach to investigate proteome an FV-enriched fraction and identified 116 proteins. electron microscopy analysis Western blot data showed that major component was FV and, as expected, majority previously known markers were recovered. Of particular interest, several proteins involved vesicle-mediated trafficking identified, which are likely play key role biogenesis and/or protein trafficking. Recovery parasite surface lends support cytostomal pathway ingestion route. 32 described hypothetical databases. This insight into content provides new clues towards understanding biological function this P. falciparum.
