Ecto-ATPase(Balamuthia+mandrillaris)


 * *Target (protein/gene name): ** ecto-ATPase
 * *NCBI Gene # or RefSeq#: **10.2210
 * *Protein ID (NP or XP #) or Wolbachia#: **3ZX0
 * *Organism (including strain): **Balamuthia mandrillaris


 * Etiologic Risk Group (see link below): ** N/A
 * */ Disease Information (sort of like the Intro to your Mini Research Write up): **//Balamuthia// infection is a rare and often fatal disease. It was first identified from the brain of a pregnant mandrill baboon in 1986, which died in a zoological park, and was associated with fatal human infection in 1991. It is one of the causes of granulomatous amebic encephalitis, a serious infection of the brain and spinal cord. Balamuthia is thought to enter the body when soil containing Balamuthia comes in contact with skin wounds and cuts, or when dust containing Balamuthia is breathed in. The bacteria can then travel to the brain through the blood stream and cause GAE, which is usually fatal.

 * Essentiality: E **xtracellular ATP has profound effects on cellular functions causing plasma membrane depolarization, Ca2+ influx and cell death on various types of cells, with the exception of those that express a high level of ATP-breakdown activity on their surface. Ecto-ATPases are also involved in cellular adhesion, cellular cytotoxicity and protection from cytolytic effects of extracellular ATP. Ecto-ATPase activity is an important factor in regulating the transport of solutes, and may have an impact on fungal nutrition and drug resistance. B. mandrillaris exhibit ecto-ATPase activity.


 * Druggable Target: ** ATP synthase ecto-a-subunit targeted in research for breast cancer.
