Function

PLM10_PLAF7 During the asexual blood stage, processes key proteins essential for merozoite egress and invasion of host erythrocytes (PubMed:29074775, PubMed:32109369). Cleaves and activates proteases SUB1 and SUB2 (PubMed:29074775, PubMed:32109369). May process members of the EBL and Rh protein families (PubMed:32109369). Also cleaves apical membrane protein AMA1 (PubMed:29074775). During the mosquito vector stage and probably in ookinetes, cleaves CelTOS (PubMed:29074775).^[1] ^[2]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Plasmodium falciparum plasmepsin X (PfPMX), involved in the invasion and egress of this deadliest malarial parasite, is essential for its survival and hence considered as an important drug target. We report the first crystal structure of PfPMX zymogen containing a novel fold of its prosegment. A unique twisted loop from the prosegment and arginine 244 from the mature enzyme are involved in zymogen inactivation; such mechanism, not previously reported, might be common for apicomplexan proteases similar to PfPMX. The maturation of PfPMX zymogen occurs through cleavage of its prosegment at multiple sites. Our data provide thorough insights into the mode of binding of a substrate and a potent inhibitor 49c to PfPMX. We present molecular details of inactivation, maturation, and inhibition of PfPMX that should aid in the development of potent inhibitors against pepsin-like aspartic proteases from apicomplexan parasites.
