Plasmodium falciparum Phospholipase C Hydrolyzing Sphingomyelin and Lysocholinephospholipids Is a Possible Target for Malaria Chemotherapy

Sphingomyelinase (SMase) is one of the principal enzymes in sphingomyelin (SM) metabolism. Here, we identified a Plasmodium falciparum gene (PfNSM) encoding a 46-kD protein, the amino acid sequence of which is ∼25% identical to that of bacteria SMases. Biochemical analyses of the recombinant protein...
