Several well-characterized plasmodial genes were identified in this metabolic collection, including P. falciparum lactate dehydrogenase (PfLDH; 027743), enolase (U00152), triose-phosphate isomerase (PfTPI; L01654), glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (PfG6PI; J05544), hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl-transferase (PfHGPRT; X16279) and dihydropteroate synthetase (PfDHPS; U07706).
In contrast, most of the MJ0301 residues described as equivalent to the functionally important residues of Escherichia coli dihydropteroate synthase are not conserved, even among the archaeal orthologs of this protein.
Dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS) catalyzes the condensation of p -aminobenzoic acid with 7,8-dihydro-6-hydroxymethylpterin pyrophosphate to give 7,8-dihydropteroate, an intermediate in folate metabolism.
A case in point is the MJ0107 protein, the apparent archaeal ortholog of DHPS, which failed to show dihydropteroate synthase activity [ 25].
