Evaluation on Elongation Factor 1 Alpha of Entamoeba histolytica Interaction with the Intermediate Subunit of the Gal/GalNAc Lectin and Actin in Phagocytosis
Entamoeba histolytica is the causative agent of amoebiasis. This disease results in 40,000 to 100,000 deaths annually. The pathogenic molecules involved in the invasion of trophozoites had been constantly being clarified. This study explored the role of elongation factor 1 alpha (EF1a) in E. histoly...

description | Entamoeba histolytica is the causative agent of amoebiasis. This disease results in 40,000 to 100,000 deaths annually. The pathogenic molecules involved in the invasion of trophozoites had been constantly being clarified. This study explored the role of elongation factor 1 alpha (EF1a) in E. histolytica pathogenicity. Biolayer interferometry binding and pull-down assays suggest that EF1a and intermediate subunit of lectin (Igl) binding are specific. Submembranous distribution of EF1a closely aligns with the localization of Igl, which appear in abundance on membranes of trophozoites. Messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of EF1a is positively correlated with trends in Igl levels after co-incubation with Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells in vitro, suggesting a regulatory linkage between these proteins. Erythrophagocytosis assays also imply a role for EF1a in phagocytosis. Finally, EF1a and actin are collocated in trophozoites. These results indicated elongation factor 1a is associated with E. histolytica phagocytosis, and the relationships between EF1a, Igl, and actin are worth further study to better understand the pathogenic process. |
