摘要：

The gene encoding dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase of the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium vivax, was isolated by polymerase chain reaction from genomic DNA and cloned. The sequences of the dihydrofolate reductase domain of 30 clinical isolates originating from various geographic areas were compared. Interstrain analysis revealed several genotypic variations, including short tandem repeat arrays which produced length polymorphism between different parasite isolates and point mutations in the putative dihydrofolate reductase active site cavity corresponding to those associated with pyrimethamine resistance in P. falciparum and rodent malaria parasites. Amino acid substitutions Ser-->Asn-117 and Ser-->Arg-58 were associated with decreased level of in vitro pyrimethamine sensitivity. These findings suggest that the P. vivax dihydrofolate reductase domain is characterized by polymorphism that has not been observed in P. falciparum and may explain the resistance of some P. vivax isolates to pyrimethamine. Nucleotide sequence data reported in this paper are available in the EMBL, GenBenk(TM) and DDJB databases under the accession numbers X98123 (isolate ARI!Pakistan), AJ003050 (isolate CNC/Thailand), AJ003051 (isolate COU/unknown geographic origin), AJ003052 (isolate DUF/French Guiana), AJ003053 (isolate GRO/Madagascar), AJ003054 (isolate HRT/Comoros islands), AJ003071 (isolate LFT/Cambodia): AJ003072 (isolate LGF/India), AJ003073 (isolate MAN/Comoros Islands), AJ003074 (isolate MAT/Surinam): AJ003075 (isolate PHI/Djibouti), AJ003076 (isolate PIT/Madagascar), AJ003077 (isolate YTZ/Indonesia), AJ222630 (isolate Burma-1), AJ222631 (isolate Burma-151), AJ222632 (isolate Burma-5), AJ222633 (isolate Burma-6), AJ222634 (isolate Burma-98).
