dc.descriptionWe have identified LmaPA2G4, a homolog of the human proliferation-associated 2G4 protein (also termed Ebp1), in aphosphoproteomic screening. Multiple sequence alignment and cluster analysis revealed that LmaPA2G4 is a non-peptidasemember of the M24 family of metallopeptidases. This pseudoenzyme is structurally related to methionine aminopeptidases. Anull mutant system based on negative selection allowed us to demonstrate that LmaPA2G4 is an essential gene inLeishmaniamajor. Over-expression of LmaPA2G4 did not alter cell morphology or the ability to differentiate into metacyclic and amastigotestages. Interestingly, the over-expression affected cell proliferation and virulence in mouse footpad analysis. LmaPA2G4 binds asynthetic double-stranded RNA polyriboinosinic polyribocytidylic acid [poly(I:C)] as shown in an electrophoretic mobility shiftassay (EMSA). Quantitative proteomics revealed that the over-expression of LmaPA2G4 led to accumulation of factors involved intranslation initiation and elongation. Significantly, we found a strong reduction ofde novoprotein biosynthesis in transgenicparasites using a non-radioactive metabolic labeling assay. In conclusion, LmaPA2G4 is an essential gene and is potentiallyimplicated in fundamental biological mechanisms, such as translation, making it an attractive target for therapeutic intervention.-
