Recently, Day et al. identified a receptor-binding site on the malaria parasite protein PfCyRPA that binds the host sugar Neu5Ac, and they found that disrupting this interaction impedes parasite growth. A map of the receptor-binding site identifies an attractive target for antimalarial vaccines and therapeutics.
最近,戴等人在疟原虫蛋白PfCyRPA上鉴定出一个与宿主糖Neu5Ac结合的受体结合位点,并且他们发现破坏这种相互作用会阻碍疟原虫的生长。受体结合位点图谱为抗疟疫苗和治疗药物确定了一个有吸引力的靶点。
