Detection and expression of a calmodulin binding protein from Plasmodium falciparum
Keywords:
plasmodium falciparum, calmodulin binding proteins
Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies were produced against affinity chromatography purified calmodulin binding proteins (CaMBP) of Plasmodium falciparum. Using one of them (1G3) in a Western blot assay, a 30 kDa calmodulin binding protein was detected in extracts of erythrocytes infected with Plasmodium falciparum. This protein was not detected in extracts of non infected erythrocytes. Additionally, the antibody presented a cross reaction with two bands 260 and 240 kDa, that reacted also with anti-spectrin policlonal antibody, suggesting that a similar epitope exists in the 30 kDa CaMBP and in spectrin. A study of expression of the 30 kDa CaMBP during the erythrocytic cell cycle showed a stage-specific expression pattern, detecting it only in the late stages of the parasite and not in the younger ones.Downloads
