A Novel Alpha Kinase EhAK1 Phosphorylates Actin and Regulates Phagocytosis in


Entamoeba histolytica is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Phagocytosis plays an important role in both survival and virulence, and has been used as one of the virulence markers. E. histolytica displays a high rate of phagocytosis and offers a unique system to understand the mechanism of this important biological process seen in many eukaryotic cells. However, the molecular mechanism of the process is still largely unknown in E. histolytica, though this pathway has been characterized in many systems. We have been studying this pathway using red blood cells, and have identified a number of molecules that are involved during initiation. Here, we demonstrate that an alpha kinase like atypical kinase EhAK1 is an important component of the pathway that regulates erythrophagocytosis. We provide evidence that EhAK1 is recruited to the phagocytic cups through EhCaBP1. We also show that over expression of kinase defective mutant, or down regulation of the gene using antisense RNA, led to defects in phagocytosis. Actin appears to be one of the substrates of EhAK1 and phosphorylation of actin is required for phagocytosis. Our results suggest that E. histolytica has evolved a novel pathway to carry out phagocytosis.
