Abstract

The data show the frequencies by which the amino acid residues lysine, histidine and cysteine of six proteins of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum are post-translationally modified by the lipoperoxydation endproduct 4-hydroxynonenal after challenging the parasitized red blood cell with plakortin. Plakortin is an antimalarial endoperoxide whose molecular anti-parasitic effect is described in Skorokhod et al. (2015) [1]. Plakortin did not elicit hemoglobin leakage from host red blood cells and did not oxidize reduced glutathione.

Highlights

  • The data show the frequencies by which the amino acid residues lysine, histidine and cysteine of six proteins of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum are post-translationally modified by the lipoperoxydation endproduct 4-hydroxynonenal after challenging the parasitized red blood cell with plakortin

  • There is no particular imbalance between the portion of 4-HNE-conjugated amino acids in the proteins extracted from plakortin treated parasites

  • Culture of red blood cells (RBC) infected with trophozoite-stage Plasmodium falciparum were treated with 0-10 μM of plakortin and hemoglobin release was measured in culture supernatant (Figure 1)
