Name PI/ResearcherC. Lavazec, G.R. Mair, C.J. Janse, J. Templeton
Name Group/DepartmentDepartment of Microbiology and Immunology
Name InstituteWeill Cornell Medical College
CityNew York
CountryUSA
Name of the mutant parasite
RMgm numberRMgm-121
Principal name∆PbCCp1
Alternative name429cl1
Standardized name
Is the mutant parasite cloned after genetic modificationYes
Phenotype
Asexual blood stageNot different from wild type
Gametocyte/GameteNot different from wild type
Fertilization and ookineteNot different from wild type
OocystNormal numbers of oocysts are produced. Sporozoite formation within the oocysts is blocked. Analysis of the morphology of oocysts by light microscopy revealed that the majority of 17–22 day oocysts were either vacuolated or non-sporulated, and did not contain sporozoites.
SporozoiteNo hemocoel and salivary gland sporozoites were detected.
Liver stageNot tested
Additional remarks phenotype

Mutant/mutation
The mutant lacks expression of CCp1 (LAP2, LCCL/lectin adhesive-like protein 2; LCCL domain containing protein CCp1).

Protein (function)
The ccp1 gene is a member of a small conserved gene family, encoding proteins with multiple adhesive domains, for example a Lgl1 (LCCL)-lectin adhesive domain. In P. falciparum the LCCL domain-containing proteins are termed PfCCp's and in P. berghei PbLAP's.

Phenotype
Phenotype analyses indicate a role during oocyst development and sporozoite formation/production (see also additional information).

Additional information
In another study (Raine, J.D. et al., 2007, PloS Pathogens 3, e30) it has been shown that crossings of ∆lap2 (ccp1) mutant females with wild type males did not rescue the formation of sporozoites. In contrast, crossing of the mutant males with wild type females resulted in wild type production of sporozoites that were infectious to C57BL/6 mice.
The lack of rescue of the ∆lap2 (ccp1) mutant phenotype by crossing of mutant females with wild type males is suggestive of a role of LAP2 (CCp1) within a few hours after fertilisation.


Other members of the LAP/CCp family of proteins have been analysed by targeted gene disruption. A number of mutants lacking expression of these proteins show a comparable defect in development of oocysts and formation of sporozoites (RMgm-113, RMgm-114, RMgm-115: LAP1/PbSLAP/PbSR/CCp3; RMgm-119: LAP4/CCp2; RMgm-98: LAP5/FNPA; RMgm-120: LAP6, CCp4).

Other mutants
RMgm-118: An independent mutant lacking expression of LAP2/CCp1
RMgm-124: A mutant lacking expression of both LAP2/CCP1 and PbSR/PSLAP/LAP1/CCp3
RMgm-125: A mutant lacking expression of both LAP2/CCP1  and LAP6/CCp4
