Inhibitors of the nonmevalonate pathway of isoprenoid biosynthesis as antimalarial drugs. Science. 285:1999;1573-1576. This report documents the discovery, using genome sequence information, of a novel drug target in the apicoplast. This is perhaps the most spectacular example to date of the use of genome sequence data to identify new drug targets in Plasmodium and related parasites.

Nature. 393:1998;801-805. The shikimate pathway of chorismate biosynthesis is found in plants, algae, fungi, and bacteria. Chorismate is essential for folate biosynthesis in these organisms and compounds that inhibit enzymes of the shikimate pathway have antimicrobial and herbicidal properties. This paper demonstrates that there is a functional shikimate pathway in Plasmodium and related parasites. Because this pathway is not found in mammals, the enzymes of the shikimate pathway may represent new chemotherapeutic targets for antimalarial drugs.

This article points out that new, high-throughput strategies for the identification and testing of potential vaccine targets must be devised if the full benefits from the enormous amounts of sequence data being generated by the Malaria Genome Project are to be realized. It is proposed that DNA vaccine technology can be used to determine the stage-specificity and subcellular localization of proteins predicted from the genome sequence, and that this information can be used to select antigens for vaccine development.

This article describes the use of pulsed field gel electrophoresis to produce karyotype maps of all four species of malaria parasites that infect humans. All four species appeared to contain 14 chromosomes, but the chromosomes of P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. malariae were found to be larger than those of P. falciparum. Four of five synteny groups that are conserved between P. falciparum and rodent malarias were conserved in all four human malaria parasites despite the differences in chromosome size.

Theileria parva is a cattle parasite that is transmitted by ticks and is related to Plasmodium and Toxoplasma. T. parva infects the lymphocytes of the host and causes a lymphoproliferative disorder called East Coast Fever. This article reviews current knowledge of the T. parva genome, which is one-third the size of the P. falciparum genome. Sequencing of T. parva genome would assist the characterization of the malaria parasite genome and may also shed light on the mechnisms of T. parva-induced host-cell transformation.

48. ••], where optical restriction mapping was used to rapidly prepare a restriction map of P. falciparum chromosome 2. In this paper, an optical restriction map of the complete P. falciparum genome was constructed. Optical maps of P. falciparum chromosomes have proven very useful for gap closure and sequence verification. Optical restriction maps may be very useful in the sequencing of Plasmodium genomes for which other physical or genetic maps are not available.
