An FKBP destabilization domain modulates protein levels in Plasmodium falciparum
2007
To enhance the repertoire of molecular tools for studying malaria parasite biology, we adapted a ligand-regulatable FKBP protein destabilization domain (ddFKBP) for use in P. falciparum. We destabilized the reporter yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) and the P. falciparum protease falcipain-2 in a ligand-reversible manner by tagging with ddFKBP. The swollen food vacuole phenotype of falcipain-2 knockout parasites could be rescued in a Shld1 ligand–dependent fashion by falcipain-2–ddFKBP expression.
