Using Yeast Synthetic Lethality To Inform Drug Combination for Malaria

Combinatorial chemotherapy is necessary for the treatment of malaria. However, finding a suitable partner drug for a new candidate is challenging. Here we develop an algorithm that identifies all of the gene pairs of Plasmodium falciparum that possess orthologues in yeast that have a synthetic letha...

description Combinatorial chemotherapy is necessary for the treatment of malaria. However, finding a suitable partner drug for a new candidate is challenging. Here we develop an algorithm that identifies all of the gene pairs of Plasmodium falciparum that possess orthologues in yeast that have a synthetic lethal interaction but are absent in humans. This suggests new options for drug combinations, particularly for inhibitors of targets such as P. falciparum calcineurin, cation ATPase 4, or phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase.
