Transcription activated by AP2-Z in early zygote plays an essential role in Plasmodium ookinete development [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: To investigate the genome-wide binding sites of early zygote AP2-family transcription factor, AP2-Z in Plasmodium berghei, the chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) analyses were performed. Parasites expressing GFP-fused AP2-Z (AP2-Z::GFP) were harvested at 6 hours post starting ookinete culture (hpoc) and subjected to ChIP-seq experiments using anti-GFP antibody. Binding sites of AP2-Z were determined from the sequence data.

Genome-wide RIP-Chip analysis of translational repressor-bound mRNAs in the Plasmodium gametocyte

Project description:Following fertilisation, translation of stored, but previously translationally repressed transcripts, is instrumental in shaping the proteome of the early embryo of multicellular eukaryotes; further development relies on de novo transcription of the zygotic genome. A related process was evidenced in the unicellular protozoa Plasmodium berghei during transmission to the mosquito host where fertilisation and zygote development result in the formation of an entirely new cell type, the ookinete. DOZI and CITH are mRNP components that maintain mRNAs silent in the female precursor cell. In the absence of DOZI or CITH, hundreds of transcripts are destabilised, which does not block fertilization upon transmission to the mosquito host, but impairs further development of the malaria parasite. However, how many transcripts are bound by DOZI/CITH in these mRNPs and what are they remain unknown. Here, we investigated the extent of maternal contribution during post-fertilization development of P. berghei by RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP)-Chip data mining and provided further functional significance using gene tagging and gene knockout approaches. We provide conclusive evidence that in the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei 50% of the transcriptome of the female sexual precursor cell is stably associated with the translational repressors DOZI and CITH allowing morphogenesis of the zygote into the ookinete to proceed in the absence of RNA polymerase II transcription. Using in situ tagging with GFP we find for the first time novel genes that rely on translational repression on the 5' UTR. This maternal repressome provides the developing ookinete with coding potential for key molecules required during developmental progression: a near complete set of factors required for the gliding motility apparatus, but also protein trafficking, adhesins, proteases and other factors.

Plasmodium transcription repressor AP2-O3 regulates sex-specific identity of gene expression in female gametocytes [RNA-seq]

Project description:Male and female gametocytes are sexual precursor cells essential for transmission of malaria parasite in the mosquitoes. Differentiation of gametocytes to fertile gametes (gametogenesis) relies on the gender-specific transcriptome. However, how the parasites establish distinct repertoire of gene transcription in the male and female gametocytes remains largely unknown. Here, we report that an Apetala2 (AP2) family transcription factor (TF) AP2-O3 operates as a transcription repressor regulating female gametocyte transcriptome. AP2-O3 is specifically localized in the nucleus of the female gametocytes. AP2-O3-deficient parasites produce apparently normal female gametocytes, which fail to differentiate to fully fertile female gametes, leading to developmental arrest in fertilization and early development post-fertilization. AP2-O3 disruption causes massive up-regulation of transcriptionally dormant male genes and simultaneously down-regulation of highly transcribed female genes in female gametocytes. ChIP-seq and EMSA analysis establish AP2-O3 as a transcription repressor that targets a significant proportion of the upregulated male genes by recognizing an eight-base DNA motif in the promoters. In addition, the maternal AP2-O3 is removed after fertilization, which is required for the zygote to ookinete development. These results demonstrate that global transcriptional repression of male genes in the female gametocytes is required for safeguarding female-specific transcriptome and essential for the mosquito transmission of Plasmodium.

PFG controls gene expression in female gametocytes cooperatively with AP2-FG [AP2-FG_DIP]

Project description:AP2-FG is a female-specific transcription factor (TF) that plays an essential role in female gametocyte development. AP2-FG activates hundreds of genes by binding to a female-specific ten-base cis-acting element. Here, we report that in the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei, another female-specific TF designated as a partner of AP2-FG (PFG), controls gene expression in female gametocytes cooperatively with AP2-FG. Transcriptional mechanisms were analyzed in Plasmodium berghei female gametocytes.

Comparison of gene expression between wild type and AP2-G KO parasites.

Project description:In the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei, we found that an AP2 family transcription factor designated AP2-L plays a critical role in the development of the liver stage. Using DNA microarray analysis we showed that the expression of several genes, including those of parasitophorous vacuole membrane proteins, was significantly decreased in the early liver stage of AP2-L-depleted parasites. Gene expression of P. berghei sporozoites was compared between wild type and AP2-G KO parasites. Five biologically independent experiments were performed for each genotype.

Identification of AP2-O targets [microarray]

Project description:Stage-specific transcription is a fundamental biological process in the lifecycle of the Plasmodium parasite. Proteins containing the AP2 DNA-binding domain are responsible for stage-specific transcriptional regulation, and belong to the only known family of transcription factors in Plasmodium parasites. A comprehensive identification of their target genes will advance our understanding of the molecular basis of stage-specific parasite development. In this study, we have used ChIP-seq technology to identify the target genes of the ookinete-specific AP2 transcription factor AP2-O.
