The complete nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding the precursor to the major merozoite surface antigens of Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi strain IP-PC1 has been determined. A single open reading frame was detected, that coded for a protein of 199 kDa. The encoded protein (p199) contains putative signal and membrane anchor sequences and shows a clustering of Cys residues in the last 120 amino acids. Incompletely conserved tandem repeat oligopeptides are present at different positions in the molecule. P199 shows 69% overall homology to the analogous antigen in Plasmodium yoelii yoelii strain YM. The divergence between these antigens is largely confined to 4 areas where a number of insertions and/or deletions have occurred. All repeats occur in these divergent regions. The overall homology with both alleles of Plasmodium falciparum PMMSA is 33%.

D010961 Plasmodium A genus of protozoa that comprise the malaria parasites of mammals. Four species infect humans (although occasional infections with primate malarias may occur). These are PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM; PLASMODIUM MALARIAE; PLASMODIUM OVALE, and PLASMODIUM VIVAX. Species causing infection in vertebrates other than man include: PLASMODIUM BERGHEI; PLASMODIUM CHABAUDI; P. vinckei, and PLASMODIUM YOELII in rodents; P. brasilianum, PLASMODIUM CYNOMOLGI; and PLASMODIUM KNOWLESI in monkeys; and PLASMODIUM GALLINACEUM in chickens.
