• W3010738445 abstract "ABSTRACT Sporozoite forms of the malaria parasite Plasmodium are transmitted by mosquitoes and first infect the liver for an initial round of replication before parasite proliferation in the blood. The molecular mechanisms involved during sporozoite invasion of hepatocytes remain poorly understood. Two receptors of the Hepatitis C virus (HCV), the tetraspanin CD81 and the scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-B1), play an important role during the entry of Plasmodium sporozoites into hepatocytic cells. In contrast to HCV entry, which requires both CD81 and SR-B1 together with additional host factors, CD81 and SR-B1 operate independently during malaria liver infection. Sporozoites from human-infecting P. falciparum and P. vivax rely respectively on CD81 or SR-B1. Rodent-infecting P. berghei can use SR-B1 to infect host cells as an alternative pathway to CD81, providing a tractable model to investigate the role of SR-B1 during Plasmodium liver infection. Here we show that mouse SR-B1 is less functional as compared to human SR-B1 during P. berghei infection. We took advantage of this functional difference to investigate the structural determinants of SR-B1 required for infection. Using a structure-guided strategy and chimeric mouse/human SR-B1 constructs, we could map the functional region of human SR-B1 within apical loops, suggesting that this region of the protein may play a crucial role for interaction of sporozoite ligands with host cells and thus the very first step of Plasmodium infection. IMPORTANCE Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites and remains one of the deadliest parasitic diseases worldwide. The parasite is transmitted by a blood feeding mosquito and first invades the liver for an initial, obligatory and silent round of replication. The liver infection is an attractive target for antimalarial vaccine strategies, however the molecular mechanisms of parasite invasion of hepatocytes remain to be fully elucidated. Two hepatocyte surface proteins are known to be important for parasite entry into hepatocytes, the tetraspanin CD81 and the scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-B1). These receptors constitute independent gateways depending on the Plasmodium species. Here, we identified the structural determinants of SR-B1, an important hepatocyte entry factor for human-infecting P. vivax . This study paves the way toward a better characterization of the molecular interactions underlying the crucial early stages of infection, a pre-requisite for the development of novel malaria vaccine strategies." @default.
