Authors: Sai Sundar Rajan Raghavan / Louise Turner / Rasmus W Jensen / Nicolai Tidemand Johansen / Daniel Skjold Jensen / Pontus Gourdon / Jinqiu Zhang / Yong Wang / Thor Grundtvig Theander / Kaituo ...Authors: Sai Sundar Rajan Raghavan / Louise Turner / Rasmus W Jensen / Nicolai Tidemand Johansen / Daniel Skjold Jensen / Pontus Gourdon / Jinqiu Zhang / Yong Wang / Thor Grundtvig Theander / Kaituo Wang / Thomas Lavstsen / Abstract: Severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria infections are caused by microvascular sequestration of parasites binding to the human endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) via the multi-domain P. falciparum ...Severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria infections are caused by microvascular sequestration of parasites binding to the human endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) via the multi-domain P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) adhesion ligands. Using cryogenic electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) and PfEMP1 sequence diversity analysis, we found that group A PfEMP1 CIDRα1 domains interact with the adjacent DBLα1 domain through central, conserved residues of the EPCR-binding site to adopt a compact conformation. Upon EPCR binding, the DBLα1 domain is displaced, and the EPCR-binding helix of CIDRα1 is turned, kinked, and twisted to reach a rearranged, stable EPCR-bound conformation. The unbound conformation and the required transition to the EPCR-bound conformation may represent a conformational masking mechanism of immune evasion for the PfEMP1 family. | |||||||||
