High impact information on PF10_0344

The goal of this study was to evaluate the antibody response induced by Plasmodium falciparum glutamate-rich protein (GLURP) in naturally exposed individuals from the Brazilian Amazon region (Rondonia State) [1].
MSP1, MSP3, and glutamate-rich protein genotypes were also determined from a smaller group of samples, and all results were combined to derive an extended antigenic haplotype [2].
Genetic variation of the glutamate-rich protein (GLURP) of Plasmodium falciparum was analysed in 29 field isolates and 15 laboratory lines of diverse geographical origin, by DNA sequencing of the non-repetitive 5'-region (R0) of the glurp gene [3].
Using peptide specific antibodies, the amino termini of the 307 and 300 kDa forms have been mapped to between aa 477-487 and aa 523-555, respectively, which is the region between the glutamate rich repeats and the cysteine motif domains [4].
A gene coding for a 220-kDa glutamate rich protein (GLURP), an exoantigen of Plasmodium falciparum, was isolated and its nucleotide sequence was determined [5].

Biological context of PF10_0344

Antibody response profiles induced by Plasmodium falciparum glutamate-rich protein in naturally exposed individuals from a Brazilian area endemic for malaria [1].
Primary structure and localization of a conserved immunogenic Plasmodium falciparum glutamate rich protein (GLURP) expressed in both the preerythrocytic and erythrocytic stages of the vertebrate life cycle [5].
Characterization of a Plasmodium chabaudi gene encoding a protein with glutamate-rich tandem repeats [6].

Other interactions of PF10_0344

Immunization of Saimiri sciureus monkeys with a recombinant hybrid protein derived from the Plasmodium falciparum antigen glutamate-rich protein and merozoite surface protein 3 can induce partial protection with Freund and Montanide ISA720 adjuvants [7].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of PF10_0344

Sequence analysis and genotypes of glutamate rich protein of Plasmodium falciparum isolates from different malaria endemic areas in China [8].
OBJECTIVE: To sequence the gene encoding glutamate rich protein (GLURP) and identify the genotypes of geographically different Plasmodium falciparum (P. f) isolates from China. METHODS: The gene of R2 repeat region of GLURP was amplified by nested polymerase chain reaction and cloned into T-vector [8].
