PROPLASMEPSIN II FROM PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM
Overview
Proplasmepsin II is the zymogen of plasmepsin II, an aspartic proteinase, used by Plasmodiumfalciparum to digest hemoglobin during the blood stage, of malaria. A large shift between the N-domain and the central and, C-domains of proplasmepsin II opens the active site cleft, preventing the, formation of a functional aspartic proteinase active site. This mode of, inhibition of catalytic activity has not been observed in any other, aspartic proteinase zymogen. Instead of occluding a pre-formed active, site, as in the gastric aspartic proteinase zymogens, the prosegment of, proplasmepsin II interacts extensively with the C-domain and serves as a, 'harness' to keep the domains apart. Disruption of key salt bridges at low, pH may be important in activation.
