Due to zoonotic transmission from large macaque reservoirs that are untreatable by drugs, and outdoor biting mosquito vectors that negate use of preventive measures such as bed nets, its containment remains a challenge. Its biology remains incompletely understood. Thus we examine the expressed proteome of the early and late <em>ex-vivo</em> cultured ring stages, the first intraerythrocyte developmental stages after infection of host rhesus macaque erythrocytes. We used GO term enrichment strategies and differential protein expression to compare early and late ring stages. The early ring stage is characterized by the enrichment of <em>P. knowlesi</em> vacuoles, and overexpression of the <em>M. mulatta</em> clathrin heavy chain, important for clathrin-coated pits and vesicles, and clathrin-mediated endocytosis. The <em>M. mulatta</em> protein ERMAP was also overexpressed in the early ring stage, suggesting a potential role in early ring stage inhibition of T-cells and macrophages responding to <em>P. knowlesi</em> infection of reticulocytes. This could allow expansion of the host <em>P. knowlesi</em> cellular niche, allowing parasite adaptation to invasion of a wider age range of RBCs than the preferred young RBCs or reticulocytes, resulting in proliferation and increased pathogenesis in infected humans. Other GO terms differentially enriched in the early ring stage include the <em>M. mulatta</em> cortical cytoskeleton and response to oxidative stress. The late ring stage is characterized by overexpression of the <em>P. knowlesi</em>","PeriodicalId":16891,"journal":{"name":"Journal of proteomics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140958038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
