Project description:Epigenome profiling has led to the paradigm that promoters of active genes are decorated with H3K4me3 and H3K9ac marks. These data on synchronized parasites reveals significant developmental stage specificity of the epigenome. In rings, H3K4me3 and H3K9ac are homogenous across the genes marking active and inactive genes equally, whilst in schizonts they are enriched at the 5âend of active genes. Chip-chip (and cDNA) from Plasmodium falciparum strain NF54 Rings and Schizonts with H3, H3K4me3 and H3K9ac.

Project description:Epigenome profiling has led to the paradigm that promoters of active genes are decorated with H3K4me3 and H3K9ac marks. Data revealed an extensively euchromatic epigenome with heterochromatin restricted to variant surface antigen gene families (VSA) and a number of genes hitherto unlinked to VSA. The vast majority of the genome shows an unexpected pattern of enrichment of H3K4me3 and H3K9ac at intergenic regions and depletion at genes.

Project description:Gene expression in malaria parasites is subject to various layers of regulation, including histone post-translational modifications (PTMs). Gene regulatory mechanisms have been extensively studied during the main developmental stages of Plasmodium parasites inside erythrocytes, from the ring stage following invasion to the schizont stage leading up to egress. However, gene regulation in merozoites that mediate the transition from one host cell to the next is an understudied area of parasite biology. Here, we sought to characterize gene expression and the corresponding histone PTM landscape during this stage of the parasite lifecycle through RNA-seq and ChIP-seq on P. falciparum blood stage schizonts, merozoites, and rings, as well as P. berghei liver stage merozoites. In both hepatic and erythrocytic merozoites, we identified a subset of genes with a unique histone PTM profile characterized by depletion of H3K4me3 in their promoter regions. These genes were upregulated in merozoites and rings, had roles in protein export, translation, and host cell remodeling, and shared a DNA motif. These results indicate that similar regulatory mechanisms may underlie merozoite formation in the liver and blood stages. We also observed that H3K4me2 was deposited in gene bodies of gene families encoding variant surface antigens in erythrocytic merozoites, which may facilitate switching of gene expression between different members of these families. Finally, H3K18me and H2K27me were uncoupled from gene expression and were enriched around the centromeres in erythrocytic merozoites, suggesting roles in the maintenance of chromosomal organization during schizogony. Together, our results demonstrate that extensive changes in gene expression and histone landscape occur during the schizont-to-ring transition to facilitate productive erythrocyte infection. The dynamic remodeling of the transcriptional program in hepatic and erythrocytic merozoites makes this stage attractive as a target for novel anti-malarial approaches that may have activity against both the liver and blood stages.

Project description:The genome-wide abundance of two histone modifications, H3K4me3 and H3K9ac, both associated with actively expressed genes, was monitored in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves at different time points during developmental senescence, along with expression in the form of RNA-seq data. H3K9ac and H3K4me3 marks were highly convergent at all stages of leaf aging, but H3K4me3 marks covered nearly twice the gene area as H3K9ac marks. Genes with the greatest fold-change in expression displayed the largest positively-correlated percent change in coverage for both marks. Most senescence up-regulated genes were pre-marked by H3K4me3 and H3K9ac, but at levels below the whole-genome average, and for these genes, gene expression increased without a significant increase in either histone mark. However, for a subset of genes showing increased or decreased expression, the respective gain or loss of H3K4me3 marks were found to closely match the temporal changes in mRNA abundance. 22% of genes that increased expression during senescence showed accompanying changes in H3K4me3 modification, and they include numerous regulatory genes, which may act as primary response genes. H3K4me3 and H3K9ac were measured on a genome-wide scale using ChIP-seq at different stages of leaf aging.
