| Function
Plasmepsin (Plm) is a hemoglobin-degrading enzyme produced by the plasmodium parasite. It is an aspartic acid protease having 2 aspartic acid residues in the active site. Ten Plm isoforms are known which are named Plm I, II, etc and Histo-Aspartic Protease (HAP).
- Proplasmepsin II exhibits a large shift between its domains which renders the protease inactive[1].
Relevance
Plm is a potential target for anti-malaria drugs[2].
Structural highlights
The active site of Plm II contains a catalytic dyad of 2 Asp residues which interact with potential antimalarial inhibitor[3]. Whole active site. Water molecules are shown as red spheres.
