Localization of pyruvate:NADP+ oxidoreductase in sporozoites of Cryptosporidium parvum
Vlasta Ctrnacta et al. J Eukaryot Microbiol. 2006 Jul-Aug.
Abstract
Cryptosporidium parvum contains a unique fusion protein pyruvate:NADP+ oxidoreductase (CpPNO) that is composed of two distinct, conserved domains, an N-terminal pyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PFO) and a C-terminal cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR). Unlike a similar fusion protein that localizes to the mitochondrion of the photosynthetic protist Euglena gracilis, CpPNO lacks an N-terminal mitochondrial targeting sequence. Using two distinct polyclonal antibodies raised against CpPFO and one polyclonal antibody against CpCPR, Western blot analysis has shown that sporozoites of C. parvum express the entire CpPNO fusion protein. Furthermore, confocal immunofluorescence and transmission electron microscopy confirm that CpPNO is localized within the cytosol rather than the relict mitochondrion of C. parvum. The distribution of this protein is not, however, strictly confined to the cytosol. CpPNO also appears to localize posteriorly within the crystalloid body.
