Descriptions
Plasmodium Sub1 is a serine protease which plays an essential role in merozoite invasion of and egress from host erythrocytes by processing and activating various merozoite surface and parasitophorous vacuole proteins. Autoinhibition of Plasmodium Sub1 is mediated by its prodomain-driven enzyme dimerization, which is a pH-dependent process controlling enzyme activity before merozoite egress. The prodomain (PD) is composed of belt subunit and bacterial PD-like domain, and promotes assembly of inactive enzyme homodimers at acidic pH, while Sub1 is primarily monomeric at neutral pH. This mechanism ensures that Sub1 activation occurs precisely when and where needed, contributing to the tightly regulated egress of Plasmodium merozoites from host cells.
