Excess cellular heme is toxic, and malaria parasites regulate its levels during hemoglobin digestion. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are ubiquitous enzymes, and of these, arginyl-tRNA synthetase (RRS) is unique as its enzymatic product of charged tRNA is required for protein synthesis and degradation. We show that Plasmodium falciparum arginyl-tRNA synthetase (PfRRS) is an active, cytosolic, and monomeric enzyme. Its high-resolution crystal structure highlights critical structural differences with the human enzyme. We further show that hemin binds to and inhibits the aminoacylation activity of PfRRS. Hemin induces a dimeric form of PfRRS that is thus rendered enzymatically dead as it is unable to recognize its cognate tRNAarg. Excessive hemin in chloroquine-treated malaria parasites results in significantly reduced charged tRNAarg levels, thus suggesting deceleration of protein synthesis. These data together suggest that the inhibition of Plasmodium falciparum arginyl-tRNA synthetase can now be synergized with existing antimalarials for more potent drug cocktails against malaria parasites. | |||
