Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) causes the most fatal form of malaria owing to its ability to cytoadhere in the microvasculature of various organs in the body. In addition to the Pf erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) family that binds diverse host receptors, CX3CL1 binding proteins 1 and 2 (CBP1 and 2) also bind the endothelial chemokine CX3CL1 to effect cytoadhesion of parasite infected erthrocytes. CBP2 is a multifaceted protein that binds nucleic acids, Pf skeleton binding protein (PfSBP1) and ATP. ATP binding to the cytoplasmic domain of CBP2 (cCBP2) induces structural changes in the protein, and hints at its role in cell signaling. In this study, we have attempted to identify the ATP binding pocket of CBP2 using an in silico approach. We have also delineated the type of interactions and amino acid residues that are likely to bind ATP. As CX3CL1 binding proteins are central to parasite biology, the obtained information is likely to form the basis for inhibitor and drug design against this molecule.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
