-
deletion of the parasite-specific insertion: Km values for (2-amino-4-hydroxy-7,8-dihydropteridin-6-yl)methyl diphosphate and p-aminobenzoate are increased compared to mutant DELTA257-306 but still decreased compared to wild type, catalytic efficacy (kcat) is comparable to wild type
DELTA257-306
-
deletion of the parasite-specific insertion: Km values for (2-amino-4-hydroxy-7,8-dihydropteridin-6-yl)methyl diphosphate and p-aminobenzoate are significantly decreased compared to wild type, catalytic efficacy (kcat) is at least 2fold decreased compared to wild type
DELTA74-80

deletion of the parasite-specific insertion: Km values for (2-amino-4-hydroxy-7,8-dihydropteridin-6-yl)methyl diphosphate and p-aminobenzoate are 2 to 3 fold higher compared to wild type, catalytic efficacy (kcat) is at least 2fold decreased compared to wild type

K540E
K540N
-
parasites collected during October 2005 have mutations associated with a lower level of pyrimethamine resistance and a higher level of sulfadoxine resistance, as well as a novel K540N mutation in PfDHPS gene. The emergence of this parasite population coincides with the widespread use of an additional antifolate drug, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, to treat other infections during January-March 2005

P519S
mutant with implicated sulfa drug resistance
P57S
-
the prevalence of DHPS mutations in Pneumocystis jirovecii strains isolated from South African Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia patients are examined. Mutations resulting in amino-acid substitutions Thr55Ala and/or Pro57Ser are detected in Pneumocystis jirovecii from 85/151 (56%) patients. The high frequency of PCP episodes with Pneumocystis jirovecii harbouring DHPS mutations in South Africa indicates that populations of this fungus are evolving under considerable selective pressure exerted by sulfa-containing antibiotics
