Characterization of Fructose-1,6-Bisphosphate Aldolase 1 of Echinococcus multilocularis.


ABSTRACT: Glycolysis is one of the important ways by which Echinococcus multilocularis acquires energy. Fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBA) plays an important role in this process, but it is not fully characterized in E. multilocularis yet. The results of genome-wide analysis showed that the Echinococcus species contained four fba genes (FBA1-4), all of which had the domain of FBA I and multiple conserved active sites. EmFBA1 was mainly located in the germinal layer and the posterior of the protoscolex. The enzyme activity of EmFBA1 was 67.42 U/mg with Km and Vmax of 1.75 mM and 0.5 mmol/min, respectively. EmFBA1 was only susceptible to Fe3+ but not to the other four ions (Na+, Ca2+, K+, Mg2+), and its enzyme activity was remarkably lost in the presence of 0.5 mM Fe3+. The current study reveals the biochemical characters of EmFBA1 and is informative for further investigation of its role in the glycolysis in E. multilocularis.
