Apical membrane antigen 1 plays a central role in erythrocyte invasion by Plasmodium species
Abstract
Apical membrane antigen 1 (AMA1) is an asexual blood‐stage protein expressed in the invasive merozoite form of Plasmodia species, which are the causative agent of malaria. We have complemented the function of Plasmodium falciparum AMA1 (PfAMA1) with a divergent AMA1 transgene from Plasmodium chabaudi (PcAMA1). It was not possible to disrupt the PfAMA1 gene using ‘knock‐out’ plasmids, although we demonstrate that the PfAMA1 gene can be targeted by homologous recombination. These experiments suggest that PfAMA1 is critical, perhaps essential, for blood‐stage growth. Importantly, we showed that PcAMA1 expression in P. falciparum provides trans‐species complementation to at least 35% of the function of endogenous PfAMA1 in human red cells. Furthermore, expression of this transgene in P. falciparum leads to more efficient invasion of murine erythrocytes. These results indicate an important role for AMA1 in the invasion of red blood cells (RBCs) across divergent Plasmodium species.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
