FunctionSUB2_PLAFA Serine protease which plays an essential role in the shedding of AMA1, MSP1 and MSP7 from the surface of the invading merozoite; this step is essential for productive invasion and the release of the adhesion between the erythrocyte and the merozoite (PubMed:16322767). May cleave TRAMP/PTTRAMP, thereby shedding TRAMP from the merozoite surface during erythrocyte invasion (By similarity).[UniProtKB:Q8IHZ5][1] Publication Abstract from PubMedPlasmodium subtilisin 2 (Sub2) is a multi-domain protein that plays an important role in malaria infection. Here, we describe the solution NMR structure of a conserved region of the inhibitory prodomain of Sub2 from Plasmodium falciparum, termed prosub2. Despite the absence of any detectable sequence homology, the protozoan prosub2 has structural similarity to bacterial and mammalian subtilisin-like prodomains. Comparison with the three-dimensional structures of these other prodomains suggests a likely binding interface with the catalytic domain of Sub2 and provides insights into the locations of primary and secondary processing sites in Plasmodiumprodomains.
