SIGNIFICANCE Reducing malaria parasite transmission by mosquitoes is a key component of malaria eradication and control strategies. This study sheds important new light on the molecular composition of the crystalloid, an enigmatic parasite organelle that is essential for sporozoite formation and transmission from the insect to the vertebrate host. Our findings provide new mechanistic insight into how proteins are delivered to the crystalloid, and indicate that the molecular mechanisms that underlie crystalloid function are complex, involving several protein families unique to Plasmodium and closely related organisms. The new crystalloid proteins identified will form a useful starting point for studies aimed at unravelling how the crystalloid organelle facilitates sporogony and transmission.The wild type strain Trichoderma harzianum was able to synthesize enzymes that can catalyse the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (PNPGase) in glucose-limited chemostat cultures. Fructose/glucose and sucrose conditions provided low levels of PNPGase activity. To investigate whether under these conditions other enzymes were produced, a shotgun proteomics analysis of their supernatants was performed. The analysis has indicated that the different carbon sources used influenced the amounts of proteins secreted including 1,3-beta-glucanosyltransferase, alpha-1,2-mannosidase, alpha-galactosidase and glucan 1,3-beta-glucosidase. The analysis has also suggested the presence of beta-glucosidase, which could also be represented by PNPGase activity. Intracellular metabolites were quantified during PNPGase production for the condition using 20 g/L of glucose in the feed and differences were observed, indicating that intracellular glucose could be inhibiting PNPGase production.
