Mutant/mutation
The mutant lacks expression of NT1

Protein (function)
Plasmodium lacks the enzymatic machinery necessary for the synthesis of the purine ring de novo and rely solely on the uptake of host purines for DNA synthesis. For P. falciparum it has been demonstrated that the translocation of host purines into the parasite is mainly mediated by the plasma membrane permease PfNT1 (nucleotide transporter 1). Genetic studies demonstrated that PfNT1 plays an essential role in parasite development and replication within human erythrocytes and parasites lacking PfNT1 are conditionally lethal, growing only when purines are provided at supra-physiological concentrations (El Bissati et al., 2006, PNAS 103, 9286-91; El Bissati, 2008, Mol. Biochem. Parasitol. 161, 130-9).

Phenotype
Blood stages show reduced growth/multiplication rate. Parasites do not induce experimental cerebral malaria (ECM) in C57Bl/6 mice. These mice die from high parasitemias. Balb/C mice develop infections with hyperparasitemias (>50%).

Additional information
An independent mutant was generated in the WT cl15cy1 background using a PCR construct (PCR1776) with the hdhfr::yfcy selectable marker. PCR1776 featured the same targeting regions as described here for PCR1693. This mutant (mutant 1912) was not cloned.

Additional remarks genetic modificationThe locus was targeted using a linear construct that was generated using a 2-step, anchor tagging PCR method (for primer details see below).

The 5’- and 3’ targeting regions of the gene were PCR amplified from genomic DNA using primer pairs 1&2 and 3&4. Primers 2 and 3 have 5’-terminal extensions homologues to the hDHFR selectable marker cassette. Primers 1 and 4 both have a 5’-terminal overhang with an anchor-tag which serves as a primer site in the 2nd PCR reaction.

The target fragments from the first PCR reaction were annealed to either side of the selectable marker cassette by PCR with anchor-tag primers 5 and 6, resulting in the 2nd PCR product. The hDHFR selectable marker cassette used in this reaction was digested from pL0040 using restriction enzymes XhoI and NotI. pL0040 is available from The Leiden Malaria Research Group.

To remove the anchor-tags from the final KO construct, and to eliminate contaminating pL0040, the 2nd PCR product was digested with Asp718/ScaI and DpnI respectively. DpnI only cuts methylated plasmid DNA but not the PCR product.
