Protein phosphatase 1 of Leishmania donovani exhibits conserved catalytic residues and pro-inflammatory response.

Abstract:

:Protein phosphorylation, governed by kinases and phosphatases, plays a pivotal role in enormous cellular signaling pathways. Although PPP family of serine/threonine phosphatases have been involved in multiplication and growth of trypanosomatid parasites, but comprehensive knowledge is still very limited. In the present study, protein phosphatase 1 from Leishmania donovani (LdPP1) was purified to homogeneity and its structural attributes were explored employing CD and fluorescence spectroscopy as well as bioinformatics methods. The CD analysis revealed an appropriate secondary structure with α-helices content outnumbering the β-sheets, whereas intrinsic fluorescence study depicted about the buried positioning of tryptophan residues. The three-dimensional structure of LdPP1, determined by homology modeling, displayed all the characteristic features including similar position of metal as well as inhibitor binding site corresponding to the known PP1 structures. Furthermore, ELISA and qRT-PCR results showed that LdPP1 elicit the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 at translated and transcriptional levels in THP1 macrophages. Subsequently, immune effector molecule nitric oxide and transcription factor NF-κB production was also found to be increased upon LdPP1 stimulation. Altogether, this is the first report on PPP phosphatase of trypanosomatid parasite that represents the structural highlights along with protein-mediated immunomodulation in human macrophages.
