Resumo (PT):
The cytoplasmic Leishmania silent information
regulator 2 (SIR2)RP1 protein is essential for parasite
growth and survival and constitutes an attractive therapeutic
target. Little information is available on putative substrate
(s) and/or partner(s) that could shed light on the pathways
in which this enzyme plays a role. We carried out coimmunoprecipitation
experiments on the soluble fractions
of wild-type and parasites overexpressing LmSIR2RP1 and
found that the essential chaperone heat shock protein (HSP)
83, the Leishmania ortholog of the mammalian HSP90,
constantly co-immunoprecipitated with LmSIR2RP1. We
found that Leishmania HSP83 is among the lysine
acetylated protein, but the intracellular level of SIR2RP1
does not influence the acetylation status of HSP83. Finally,
the modified Geldanamycin susceptibility (an inhibitor of
HSP83) exhibited by SIR2RP1 mutant parasites support an
in vivo relationship between the chaperone activity of
HSP83 and LmSIR2RP1. An insight on the nature of the
interaction in Leishmania is required to understand its role
in the cell fate control during cytodifferentiation.
