ABSTRACT
The natural product 9-methoxystrobilurin G (9MG) from Favolaschia spp basidiomycetes is a potent and selective antimalarial. The mechanism of action of 9MG is unknown. We induced 9MG resistance in Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 and Dd2 strains and identified mutations associated with resistance by genome sequencing. All 9MG-resistant clones possessed missense mutations in the cytochrome b (CYTB) gene, a key component of mitochondrial complex III. The mutations map to the quinol oxidation site of CYTB, which is also the target of antimalarials such as atovaquone. In a complementary approach to identify protein targets of 9MG, a photoactivatable derivative of 9MG was synthesized and applied in chemoproteomic-based target profiling. Three components of mitochondrial complex III (QCR7, QCR9, and COX15) were specifically enriched consistent with 9MG targeting CYTB and complex III function in P. falciparum. Inhibition of complex III activity by 9MG was confirmed by ubiquinone cytochrome c reductase assay using P. falciparum extract. The findings from this study may be useful for developing novel antimalarials targeting CYTB.
