Résumé
Members of the HtrA family of serine proteases are known to play roles in mitochondrial homeostasis as well as in programmed cell death. Mitochondrial homeostasis and metabolism are crucial for the survival and propagation of the malaria parasite within the host. Here we have functionally characterized a Plasmodium falciparum HtrA2 (PfHtrA2) protein, which harbours trypsin-like protease activity that can be inhibited by its specific inhibitor, ucf-101. A transgenic parasite line was generated, using the HA-glmS C-terminal tagging approach, for localization as well as for inducible knock-down of PfHtrA2. The PfHtrA2 was localized in the parasite mitochondrion during the asexual life cycle. Genetic ablation of PfHtrA2 caused significant parasite growth inhibition, decreased replication of mtDNA, increased mitochondrial ROS production, caused mitochondrial fission/fragmentation, and hindered parasite development. However, the ucf-101 treatment did not affect the parasite growth, suggesting the non-protease/chaperone role of PfHtrA2 in the parasite. Under cellular stress conditions, inhibition of PfHtrA2 by ucf-101 reduced activation of the caspase-like protease as well as parasite cell death, suggesting the involvement of protease activity of PfHtrA2 in apoptosis-like cell death in the parasite. Under these cellular stress conditions, the PfHtrA2 gets processed but remains localized in the mitochondrion, suggesting that it acts within the mitochondrion by cleaving intra-mitochondrial substrate(s). This was further supported by trans-expression of PfHtrA2 protease domain in the parasite cytosol, which was unable to induce any cell death in the parasite. Overall, we show the specific roles of PfHtrA2 in maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis as well as in regulating stress-induced cell death.
