Antibodies from hyperimmune monkey sera, selected by absorption to Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes, and elution at acidic pH, allowed us to characterize a novel parasite protein, Pfsbp1 (P. falciparum skeleton binding protein 1). Pfsbp1 is an integral membrane protein of parasite-induced membranous structures associated with the erythrocyte plasma membrane and referred to as Maurer's clefts. The carboxy-terminal domain of Pfsbp1, exposed within the cytoplasm of the host cell, interacts with a 35 kDa erythrocyte skeletal protein and might participate in the binding of the Maurer's clefts to the erythrocyte submembrane skeleton. Antibodies to the carboxy- and amino-terminal domains of Pfsbp1 labelled similar vesicular structures in the cytoplasm of Plasmodium chabaudi and Plasmodium berghei-infected murine erythrocytes, suggesting that the protein is conserved among malaria species, consistent with an important role of Maurer's cleft-like structures in the intraerythrocytic development of malaria parasites.
