Plasmodium falciparum responsible for the most virulent form of malaria invades human erythrocytes through multiple ligand‐receptor interactions. The P. falciparum reticulocyte binding protein homologues (PfRHs) are expressed at the apical end of merozoites and form interactions with distinct erythrocyte surface receptors that are important for invasion. Here using a range of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against different regions of PfRH1 we have investigated the role of PfRH processing during merozoite invasion. We show that PfRH1 gets differentially processed during merozoite maturation and invasion and provide evidence that the different PfRH1 processing products have distinct functions during invasion. Using in‐situ Proximity Ligation and FRET assays that allow probing of interactions at the nanometre level we show that a subset of PfRH1 products form close association with micronemal proteins Apical Membrane Antigen 1 (AMA1) in the moving junction suggesting a critical role in facilitating junction formation and active invasion. Our data provides evidence that time dependent processing of PfRH proteins is a mechanism by which the parasite is able to regulate distinct functional activities of these large processes. The identification of a specific close association with AMA1 in the junction now may also provide new avenues to target these interactions to prevent merozoite invasion.

恶性疟原虫网织红细胞结合蛋白 RH1 的加工产物在连接形成过程中与 AMA1 密切相关。

恶性疟原虫通过多种配体 - 受体相互作用侵入人类红细胞,是最致命的疟疾形式。该恶性疟原虫网织红细胞结合蛋白同系物 (PfRH) 在裂殖子的顶端表达,并与对入侵很重要的不同红细胞表面受体形成相互作用。在这里,我们使用一系列针对 PfRH1 不同区域的单克隆抗体 (mAb),研究了 PfRH 加工在裂殖子入侵过程中的作用。我们表明 PfRH1 在裂殖子成熟和入侵过程中得到不同的加工,并提供证据表明不同的 PfRH1 加工产物在入侵过程中具有不同的功能。使用允许在纳米水平上探测相互作用的原位邻近连接和 FRET 测定,我们表明 PfRH1 产物的一个子集与移动连接中的微丝蛋白顶端膜抗原 1 (AMA1) 形成密切关联,表明在促进连接中起关键作用形成和主动入侵。我们的数据提供的证据表明,PfRH 蛋白的时间依赖性处理是一种寄生虫能够调节这些大过程的不同功能活动的机制。现在确定与 AMA1 在交界处的特定密切关联现在也可能为靶向这些相互作用以防止裂殖子入侵提供新的途径。我们的数据提供的证据表明,PfRH 蛋白的时间依赖性处理是一种寄生虫能够调节这些大过程的不同功能活动的机制。现在确定与 AMA1 在交界处的特定密切关联现在也可能为靶向这些相互作用以防止裂殖子入侵提供新的途径。我们的数据提供的证据表明,PfRH 蛋白的时间依赖性处理是一种寄生虫能够调节这些大过程的不同功能活动的机制。现在确定与 AMA1 在交界处的特定密切关联现在也可能为靶向这些相互作用以防止裂殖子入侵提供新的途径。
