Gene Description

Calcium-dependent protein kinase 1 (CDPK1) of Plasmodium falciparum is a serine/threonine protein kinase of the plant/alveolate CDPK family. It fuses an N-terminal kinase domain to a junction (autoinhibitory) domain and a C-terminal calmodulin-like domain carrying four EF-hand Ca2+-binding sites, so the enzyme is a self-contained calcium sensor-effector that is activated by Ca2+ alone, without exogenous calmodulin: Ca2+ binding releases the junction domain from the catalytic cleft and permits autophosphorylation and substrate phosphorylation. An N-terminal myristoylation/palmitoylation signal plus a basic cluster anchor CDPK1 peripherally to membranes, chiefly the parasite plasma membrane and inner membrane complex of schizonts and merozoites, with additional pools at the parasitophorous vacuole membrane and tubovesicular network. CDPK1 is highly expressed in asexual blood stages and is required for erythrocyte invasion: downstream of cGMP/PKG and a rise in cytosolic Ca2+, it phosphorylates components of the glideosome motor complex (MTIP, GAP45) and inner membrane complex, the PKA regulatory subunit, the rhoptry protein RhopH3 and the protease SERA5, driving microneme discharge during invasion and egress. Phosphorylated CDPK1 is bound by 14-3-3I, which scaffolds a CDPK1/PKA complex. CDPK1 is also essential for male and female gametogenesis and mosquito transmission, and is an actively pursued antimalarial drug target.

GO_REF:0000002
MODIFY
Summary: CDPK1 is a Ser/Thr protein kinase whose activity depends on Ca2+ binding to its own C-terminal calmodulin-like domain (CLD); this generic kinase term is correct but less specific than the evidence supports.
Reason: Correct but general. Recombinant CDPK1 phosphorylates MTIP, GAP45, PKAr, SERA5, RhopH3 and RKIP in vitro, and activation requires Ca2+ binding to EF hands of its CLD. The gene already carries the specific descendant GO:0009931 by multiple IDA rows, so that term is proposed as the replacement.

GO:0004683 calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase activity
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
MODIFY
Summary: IBA from a PANTHER node spanning CaMKs and CDPKs. CDPK1 is Ca2+-regulated but does not need calmodulin; Ca2+ alone activates it through its fused calmodulin-like domain.
Reason: The core of the claim (a Ca2+-regulated Ser/Thr kinase) is right, but 'calcium/calmodulin-dependent' implies dependence on separate calmodulin, which is not how CDPKs work. CDPK1 binds 45Ca2+ and Ca2+ alone activates it (PMID:8142371). Replace with GO:0009931, which the gene already carries by IDA.

Summary: CDPK1 has four EF-hand Ca2+-binding sites in its C-terminal CLD. Direct 45Ca2+ binding and site mutagenesis show that sites I and II are needed for activation.
Reason: The InterPro EF-hand mapping is confirmed experimentally. Calcium binding is the sensor half of the CDPK mechanism.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:8142371
As predicted from the cDNA sequence, the kinase has four EF-hand calcium-binding sites in the C-terminal domain.

GO:0005516 calmodulin binding
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
REMOVE
Summary: IBA calmodulin binding, propagated from a PANTHER node whose donors include CDPK-related kinases (CRKs) that bind calmodulin. No calmodulin binding has been reported for PfCDPK1.
Reason: CDPKs carry their own calmodulin-like domain, and Ca2+ alone activates PfCDPK1 without calmodulin (PMID:8142371). The CLD binds the kinase's own junction domain (PMID:23204525), which is an intramolecular contact, not calmodulin binding. Calmodulin binding belongs to the CaMK/CRK branches, not to the CDPK clade that contains CDPK1.

enzyme inhibition by these compounds was found to be sensitive to both the ATP concentration and substitution of the amino acid residue present at the "gatekeeper" position at the ATP-binding site of the enzyme.
GO:0005634 nucleus
IBA

Summary: IBA nucleus from a broad CAMK-family node. PfCDPK1 is N-myristoylated and palmitoylated and is consistently found at the parasite plasma membrane, PV/PVM and the periphery of gametes; no nuclear localization has been reported.
Reason: Target-specific divergence. The N-terminal acylation and basic motif target CDPK1 to membranes, and independent localization studies (IFA, GFP tagging, immuno-EM) never place it in the nucleus. The nucleus assertion likely reflects nuclear-acting mammalian CaMKs and plant CPKs at the node.

Summary: CDPK1 phosphorylates many parasite proteins (MTIP, GAP45, IMC proteins, PKAr, SERA5, RhopH3, RKIP) in vitro and, by phosphoproteomics after knockdown, in the parasite.
Reason: Direct biochemical evidence of protein phosphorylation by CDPK1; the appropriate process term for a protein kinase.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:18768477
we demonstrate that both proteins can be efficiently phosphorylated by CDPK1 in vitro.
PMID:22479457
We show that GAP45 is phosphorylated by calcium dependent protein kinase 1 (CDPK1), and identify the modified serine residues.
PMID:28680058

Summary: Derived from a high-throughput inhibitor screen and medicinal-chemistry campaign against recombinant CDPK1.
Reason: Sensitivity of an enzyme to synthetic inhibitors in vitro is not a biological process in which the gene product participates. 'Response to xenobiotic stimulus' describes a cellular program responding to a foreign compound, which this study does not demonstrate; the authors even note biochemical inhibition did not correlate with growth inhibition.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:25070106
we were unable to correlate biochemical inhibition with parasite growth inhibition for this series overall.

Summary: Core activity is Ca2+-activated Ser/Thr protein kinase. Ca2+ binding to the CLD EF hands releases the autoinhibitory junction domain. Substrates include MTIP, GAP45, PKAr, SERA5 and RhopH3.
Reason: Several independent biochemical studies show Ca2+-dependent phosphorylation of protein substrates. Removing the junction domain and CLD gives Ca2+-independent activity, which confirms the autoinhibitory mechanism.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:8142371
The kinase can be activated by Ca2+ alone and associates with 45Ca2+.

Summary: CDPK1 is a Ca2+ sensor/effector acting downstream of the PKG/cGMP and Ca2+ second-messenger cascades, relaying the signal to glideosome, IMC and PKA components.
Reason: CDPK1 is phosphorylated by PKG and in turn phosphorylates PKAr to modulate PKA activity, placing it within an intracellular signalling relay; the IBA term is apt for a Ca2+-dependent kinase.
Supporting Evidence:

Summary: CDPK1 phosphorylated at S64 (a PKG site) binds 14-3-3I through a canonical mode I motif, in a phosphorylation-dependent manner.
Reason: Well-supported interaction (ELISA, SPR, modelling) that scaffolds a signalling complex. It is a regulatory property rather than the kinase's core activity, so it is kept as non-core.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:32484216

Summary: CDPK1 activity is required for the Ca2+-triggered discharge of micronemes during erythrocyte invasion; inhibition by purfalcamine or the P3 peptide blocks microneme secretion.
Reason: Best available GO term for a positive role in a regulated secretory (microneme discharge) process; pharmacological and peptide inhibition of CDPK1 block microneme secretion.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:23204525
Purfalcamine, a previously identified specific inhibitor of PfCDPK1, also inhibits microneme discharge and erythrocyte invasion, confirming a role for PfCDPK1 in this process.
PMID:23204525
The P3 peptide, which specifically inhibits the functional activity of PfCDPK1, blocks microneme discharge and erythrocyte invasion by P. falciparum merozoites.

Core Functions

Calcium-activated serine/threonine protein kinase. Ca2+ binding to the EF hands of the C-terminal calmodulin-like domain relieves autoinhibition by the junction domain, enabling autophosphorylation and phosphorylation of protein substrates on Ser and Thr. The enzyme is activated by Ca2+ alone, independent of exogenous calmodulin.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:8142371
    The kinase can be activated by Ca2+ alone and associates with 45Ca2+.
  • PMID:23204525
    we provide direct evidence for the binding of the CamLD with the P3 region (Leu(356) to Thr(370)) of the JD in the presence of calcium (Ca(2+))

Effector of the Ca2+/PKG signalling relay that triggers microneme discharge during erythrocyte invasion and egress. Downstream of PKG and a rise in cytosolic Ca2+, CDPK1 phosphorylates glideosome motor components (MTIP, GAP45), inner membrane complex proteins, the PKA regulatory subunit and the rhoptry protein RhopH3, and its pharmacological or peptide inhibition blocks microneme secretion and invasion.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:23204525
    Purfalcamine, a previously identified specific inhibitor of PfCDPK1, also inhibits microneme discharge and erythrocyte invasion, confirming a role for PfCDPK1 in this process.
  • PMID:28680058
    We identify substrates of PfCDPK1, which includes proteins of Inner Membrane Complex and glideosome-actomyosin motor assembly.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Is the apparent host-erythrocyte-membrane pool of CDPK1 a genuine export event, given that endogenous GFP-tagged CDPK1 is not detected in the RBC, or does it reflect PV/tubovesicular membrane continuous with the host cytosol?

Q: Which of the many in vitro CDPK1 substrates (MTIP, GAP45, PKAr, SERA5, RhopH3, IMC proteins) are the physiologically rate-limiting targets for microneme discharge versus for gametogenesis?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Rapid conditional inactivation of CDPK1 (e.g. knocksideways or a chemical-genetic analogue-sensitive allele) in synchronized schizonts, combined with quantitative microneme-discharge and invasion assays, to separate CDPK1's catalytic role in invasion from indirect effects of slow depletion.

Hypothesis: Acute loss of CDPK1 catalytic activity blocks Ca2+-triggered microneme discharge and erythrocyte invasion without affecting earlier schizont development.

Experiment: Stage-specific phosphoproteomics of CDPK1 knockout versus wild-type gametocytes/gametes to identify the CDPK1-dependent phosphosites underlying the male and female gametogenesis defect.

Hypothesis: CDPK1 phosphorylates a distinct set of cytoskeletal/IMC substrates in gametocytes that are required for gamete egress and flagellum formation.
