This invention relates uses of components of plant-like metabolic pathways not including psbA or PPi phosphofructokinase and not generally operative in animals or encoded by the plastid DNA, to develop compositions that interfere with Apicomplexan growth and survival. Components of the pathways include enzymes, transit peptides and nucleotide sequences encoding the enzymes and peptides, or promoters of these nucleotide sequences to which antibodies, antisense molecules and other inhibitors are directed. Diagnostic and therapeutic reagents and vaccines are developed based on the components and their inhibitors.
本发明涉及利用不包括psbA或PPi磷酸果糖激酶、一般不在动物体内起作用或由质体DNA编码的植物类代谢途径的成分,来开发干扰表皮癣菌生长和存活的组合物。这些途径的成分包括酶、转运肽和编码酶和肽的核苷酸序列,或这些核苷酸序列的启动子,抗体、反义分子和其他抑制剂都是针对这些核苷酸序列的。诊断和治疗试剂及疫苗就是根据这些成分及其抑制剂开发出来的。
