DNA encoding an antigen of 101,000 apparent molecular weight from the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum was cloned and sequenced. Genomic DNA from the Camp strain covering the complete coding region along with cDNA from the FCR3 strain covering 81% of the coding region were obtained. The cloned DNA specified a full-length protein of 743 amino acids which included two tandemly repeated regions, one near the amino terminus containing eight hexapeptide repeats of sequence TVNDEDED, and the second near the carboxyl terminus containing primarily KE and KEE repeats. The latter repeated region is encoded by a 174-base stretch of mRNA containing only a single pyrimidine. Except for a putative leader sequence located at the amino terminus of the protein, the protein is hydrophilic and highly charged with a calculated isoelectric point of 5.6. Sequences from the Camp and FCR3 strains are very close and are also nearly identical to the partial cDNA sequence of the acidic basic repeated antigen (ABRA) protein from the FC27 strain (Stahl, H.D., Bianco, A.E., Crewther, R.F., Anders, R.F., Kyne, A.P., Coppel, R. L., Mitchell, G.F., Kemp, D.J., and Brown, G.V. (1986) Mol. Biol. Med. 3, 351-368). ABRA was previously shown to be located at the merozoite surface and in the parasitophorous vacuole. Because of its location and because it becomes complexed to merozoites when schizonts rupture in the presence of immune serum, ABRA is a candidate component of a malaria vaccine.
