In this study, we show that the acylation sites in the N-terminus of TgIMP1 are involved in anchoring the protein to the cytoplasmic face of the plasma membrane. Antibodies raised against NcIMP1 localized it to the plasma membrane (PM) and were shown to have inhibitory effects on host cell invasion. IMP1 lacks conserved domains with known function except for the predicted myristoylation and palmitoylation sites at the N-terminus, which are presumed to confer membrane association to the protein. Recent studies in Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum reported that TgIMP1 and NcIMP1 provided protection following immunization with DNA vaccine in the mouse model. In this context, an Immune mapped protein 1 (IMP1) was identified as an antigen eliciting protective immunity against chicken coccidian Eimeria maxima, by combining parasite genetics and selective barriers with population-based genetic fingerprinting. The limited repertoire of efficacious drugs and the emergence of drug resistance have considerably hampered the control of these parasites and boosted the research towards the development of vaccines. The phylum of Apicomplexa comprises medical and veterinary important protozoan parasites including Plasmodium, Toxoplasma, Eimeria, Neospora, Scarcocystis, Babesia, Theileria and Cryptosporidium species. We present the solution structure of this domain determined from NMR data and describe a new protein fold not seen before. The sequence analysis identified a structured C-terminal domain that is present in a broader family of IMP1-like proteins conserved across the Apicomplexa phylum. Following immunization with TgIMP1 DNA vaccine, mice challenged with either wild type or IMP1-ko parasites showed no significant difference in protection. Disruption of TgIMP1 gene by double homologous recombination revealed no invasion defect or any measurable alteration in the lytic cycle of tachyzoites. The first 11 amino acids are sufficient for PM targeting and the presence of lysine (K7) is critical. Mutations either in the N-terminal myristoylation or palmitoylation (G2 and C5) sites relocalize TgIMP1 to the cytosol. We show here that TgIMP1 localizes to the inner leaflet of plasma membrane via dual acylation. Immune mapped protein 1 (IMP1) was first identified as a protective antigen in Eimeria maxima and described as vaccine candidate and invasion factor in Toxoplasma gondii. The sequence analysis identified a structured C-terminal domain that is present in a broader family of IMP1-like proteins conserved across the members of Apicomplexa. Mutations either in the N-terminal myristoylation or palmitoylation sites (G2 and C5) cause relocalization of TgIMP1 to the cytosol.
