TABLE 1.

Effect of metal ions on the P. vivax metalloprotease activitya

Ion Proteinase activity (%) in presence of 1 mM 1,10-phenanthrolineb
Without ion With ion (100 μM)
ZnCl2 3.3 95.0
CaCl2 1.5 53.0
MgCl2 4.28 9.0
MnCl2 5.4 78.0
a

Casein hydrolysis assay was used to determine the protease activity in the immunoprecipitate of the in vitro-translated product of the PVHSP gene. 

b

The proteinase activity without 1,10-phenanthroline was considered 100% activity.
