NIAID-Funded Research Could Aid Antimalarial Drug Development

Dr. Fauci in the News

May 3, 2018

NIAID-Funded Research
News

Researchers have exploited a quirk in the genetic make-up of the
deadly malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, to create
38,000 mutant strains and then determine which of the
organism's genes are essential to its growth and survival. P.
falciparum is responsible for about half of all malaria cases and
90 percent of all malaria deaths. New information about the
parasite's critical gene repertoire could help investigators
prioritize targets for future antimalarial drug development.
The international research team led by John H. Adams, Ph.D., of
the University of South Florida, was supported by the National
Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the
National Institutes of Health. The study appears in the May 4
issue of Science. Rays H.Y. Jiang, Ph.D., of Universtiy of South
Florida, and Julian C. Rayner, Ph.D., of the Wellcome Trust
Sanger Institute, U.K., collaborated with Dr. Adams in this
research.

Congressional Testimony

The complete genetic sequence of P. falciparum was deter•
mined more than a decade ago, but the functions of most
of its genes remain unknown, a n d until now only a few hundred
mutant strains had been created in the lab. The difficulties in
manipulating P. falciparum stem in part from the extremely high
percentage of adenine or thymine (two of the four chemical
building blocks that make up DNA) in its genome. Standard
methods for creating mutants rely on more variation in gene
sequences and so do not work on P. falciparum. In the new
research, Dr. Adams and his colleagues created mutated
versions of nearly all the parasite's 6,000 genes with a technique
that preferentially targets areas rich in adenine and thymine,
thus exploiting the very feature that had foiled previous attempts at
