Abstrakt: Although F1-ATPase is extremely conserved among organisms, a putative subunit p18 was identified in Trypanosoma brucei F1-ATPase complex. To explore its function in the procylic, bloodstream and dyskinetoplastic trypanosomes, three different RNAi cell lines were created. Upon p18 silencing the F1-moiety structural integrity was impaired suggesting that p18 is indeed a bona fide subunit of this complex. Since F1-ATPase is crucial for the bloodstream form survival, its potential inhibitor from the 4-oxopiperidine-3,5-dicarboxylates class (JK-11) was examined. JK-11 inhibited growth of the bloodstream trypanosomes, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential and reduced ATPase and ATP synthase activity in mitochondrial lysates. Our results suggest that JK-11 may act on FoF1-ATP synthase/ATPase and its inhibition may contribute to the cytotoxicity of this drug.
