Plasmodium falciparum RH5 is a secreted parasite ligand that is essential for erythrocyte invasion through direct interaction with the host erythrocyte receptor basigin. RH5 forms a tripartite complex with two other secreted parasite proteins, CyRPA and RIPR, and is tethered to the surface of the parasite through membrane-anchored P113. Antibodies against RH5, CyRPA, and RIPR can inhibit parasite invasion, suggesting that vaccines containing these three components have the potential to prevent blood-stage malaria. To further explore the role of the P113-RH5 interaction, we selected monoclonal antibodies against P113 that were either inhibitory or noninhibitory for RH5 binding. Using a Fab fragment as a crystallization chaperone, we determined the crystal structure of the RH5 binding region of P113 and showed that it is composed of two domains with structural similarities to rhamnose-binding lectins. We identified the RH5 binding site on P113 by using a combination of hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry and site-directed mutagenesis. We found that a monoclonal antibody to P113 that bound to this interface and inhibited the RH5-P113 interaction did not inhibit parasite blood-stage growth. These findings provide further structural information on the protein interactions of RH5 and will be helpful in guiding the development of blood-stage malaria vaccines that target RH5.

恶性疟原虫 P113 富含半胱氨酸结构域的结构确定了 RH5 结合位点的位置。

恶性疟原虫RH5 是一种分泌型寄生虫配体,通过与宿主红细胞受体碱基的直接相互作用对红细胞入侵至关重要。RH5 与另外两种分泌的寄生虫蛋白 CyRPA 和 RIPR 形成三方复合物,并通过膜锚定的 P113 束缚在寄生虫表面。针对 RH5、CyRPA 和 RIPR 的抗体可以抑制寄生虫的入侵,这表明含有这三种成分的疫苗具有预防血期疟疾的潜力。为了进一步探索 P113-RH5 相互作用的作用,我们选择了针对 P113 的单克隆抗体,它们对 RH5 结合具有抑制性或非抑制性。使用 Fab 片段作为结晶伴侣,我们确定了 P113 的 RH5 结合区的晶体结构,并表明它由两个与鼠李糖结合凝集素结构相似的结构域组成。我们通过结合使用氢-氘交换质谱法和定点诱变来确定 P113 上的 RH5 结合位点。我们发现与该界面结合并抑制 RH5-P113 相互作用的 P113 单克隆抗体不会抑制寄生虫血液阶段的生长。这些发现提供了有关 RH5 蛋白质相互作用的进一步结构信息,并将有助于指导针对 RH5 的血期疟疾疫苗的开发。我们发现与该界面结合并抑制 RH5-P113 相互作用的 P113 单克隆抗体不会抑制寄生虫血液阶段的生长。这些发现提供了有关 RH5 蛋白质相互作用的进一步结构信息,并将有助于指导针对 RH5 的血期疟疾疫苗的开发。我们发现与该界面结合并抑制 RH5-P113 相互作用的 P113 单克隆抗体不会抑制寄生虫血液阶段的生长。这些发现提供了有关 RH5 蛋白质相互作用的进一步结构信息,并将有助于指导针对 RH5 的血期疟疾疫苗的开发。
