摘 要:
顶复门原虫包括疟原虫(Plasmodium spp.)、刚地弓形虫(Toxoplasma gondii)、艾美耳球虫(Eimeria spp.)、锥虫(Trypanosoma spp.)、泰勒虫(Theileria spp.)及巴贝斯虫(Babesia spp.)等一大类引起严重人畜疾病的寄生性原虫。顶复门原虫利用2C-甲基-D-赤藓糖醇-4-磷酸(MEP)途径合成类异戊二烯前体物质,这些化合物对于维持顶复门原虫的生存具有十分重要的作用。1-脱氧-D-木酮糖-5-磷酸(DOXP)还原异构酶是MEP途径的关键酶,对其作用机理及抑制剂的筛选研究已取得重要进展。论文对顶复门原虫类异戊二烯的MEP途径,DOXP还原异构酶的作用机理及靶标研究进展进行综述。

摘 要:
Parasites of the phylum Apicomplexa include many important human and veterinary pathogens such as Plasmodium spp.,Toxoplasma gondii,Eimeria spp.,Trypanosoma spp.,Theileria spp.,and Babesia spp.The biosynthesis of isoprenoids is achieved by the 2C-methyl-D-erythritol-4-phosphate(MEP) pathway,which is closely related to the survival of apicomplexan parasites.1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase(DXR) is a key enzyme of the pathway.The research on the catalytic mechanism and inhibitor selection of DXR made important progress.This review focused on recent developments on the MEP pathway and the characterization of DXR in Apicomplexa.
