Project description:The description of the transcriptome and proteome datasets of Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest strain of human malaria, has been a tremendous resource for the understanding of the molecular physiology of this parasite. However, the underlying translational control that links global measurements of steady-state mRNA with protein levels is not well understood. Our work bridges this disconnect by measuring translation on a whole genome scale using ribosome profiling, providing the first measurements of new protein synthesis through the asexual blood phase developmental cycle.

Project description:Plasmodium falciparum is a deadly human pathogen responsible for the devastating disease called malaria. In this study, we measured the differential accumulation of RNA secondary structures in coding and noncoding transcripts from the asexual developmental cycle in P. falciparum in human red blood cells. Our comprehensive analysis that combined high-throughput nuclease mapping of RNA structures by duplex RNA-seq, SHAPE-directed RNA structure validation, immunoaffinity purification and characterization of antisense RNAs collectively measured differentially base-paired RNA regions throughout the parasite’s development. Our mapping data not only aligned to a diverse pool of RNAs with known structures but also enabled us to identify new structural RNA regions in the malaria genome. On average, approximately 71% of the genes with secondary structures are found to be protein coding mRNAs. The mapping pattern of these base-paired RNAs corresponded to all regions of protein-coding mRNAs, including the 5’ UTR, CDS and 3’ UTR as well as the start and stop codons. Histone family genes which are known to form secondary structures in their mRNAs and transcripts from genes which are important for transcriptional and post-transcriptional control, such as the unique plant-like transcription factor family, ApiAP2, DNA/RNA binding protein, Alba3 and proteins important for RBC invasion and malaria cytoadherence also showed strong accumulation of duplex RNA reads in various asexual stages in P. falciparum. Intriguingly, our study determined a positive relationship between mRNA structural contents and translation efficiency in P. falciparum asexual blood stages, suggesting an essential role of RNA structural changes in malaria gene expression programs.

Project description:Accurate gene models are essential for understanding parasite biology. However, transcript structure information is lacking for most parasite genes. Here, we describe “virtual northern” analysis of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum to address this issue. RNA-seq libraries were made from size-fractionated RNA. Transcript sizes for 3052 genes were inferred from the abundance signals in each library. The data show that for almost half of the transcripts, the combined untranslated regions are more than twice the length of the open reading frame. Furthermore, we identified novel polycistronic, or gene overlapping transcripts that suggest revisions to current gene models are needed.
