Crystal structure and chemical inhibition of essential schistosome host-interactive virulence factor carbonic anhydrase SmCA
5 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract The intravascular parasitic worm Schistosoma mansoni is a causative agent of schistosomiasis, a disease of great global public health significance. Here we identify an α-carbonic anhydrase (SmCA) that is expressed at the schistosome surface as determined by activity assays and immunofluorescence/immunogold localization. Suppressing SmCA expression by RNAi significantly impairs the ability of larval...
