Comparative Genomic Hybridizaions of 3D7∆PfSir2a and NF54 compared to reference strain 3D7

Project description:Antigenic variation in Plasmodium falciparum is achieved by transcriptional switching amongst polymorphic var genes, enforced by epigenetic modification of chromatin. Histone-modifying ‘sirtuin’ enzymes PfSir2a and PfSir2b have been implicated in this process. We examined the effect of genetic disruption of sirtuins on var gene expression. Comparative Genomic Hybridization profile indicate that loss of PfSir2a in 3D7 resulted in strikingly rearranged chromosomes.

3D7 PfHda2 Knockdown vs. Wildtype

Project description:The asexual forms of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum are uniquely adapted for chronic persistence in human red blood cells, continuously evading the immune system using an epigenetically regulated process. However, parasite survival on a population level also requires transmission of sexual parasite forms to subsequent human hosts. Here, we reveal that the essential nuclear gene, P. falciparum histone deacetylase 2 (PfHda2), silences specific subsets of genes involved in antigenic variation or conversion to sexual stages. Two parallel timecourses resulting in a total of 22 samples (11 wildtype, 11 PfHda2 knockdown) were hybridized against a Cy3-labeled reference pool of 3D7 mixed stage parasites on a two-color array.

Transcriptional alterations of P. falciparum 3D7-A heat shock-adapted vs control parasites.

Project description:Periodic fever is the most characteristic clinical feature of human malaria. However, how parasites survive malarial febrile episodes, which often involve temperatures of >40ºC, is not known. To understand the molecular basis of heat shock (HS) resistance in Plasmodium falciparum, we took advantage of previously developed P. falciparum lines adapted to periodic HS (3D7-A-HS) and their non-selected controls maintained in parallel (3D7-A). Their ability to adapt in only a few cycles suggested that the parental parasite population contained a selectable subset of parasites resistant to HS. Transcriptomic analysis of both 3D7-A-HS and 3D7-A was used to study the differences at a transcriptional level that could be related with the HS-resistant phenotype.

Heterochromatin protein 1 secures survival and transmission of malaria parasites

Project description:The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum relies on clonally variant gene expression in order to escape immune recognition and secure continuous proliferation during blood stage infection. Here, we studied the role of heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1), an evolutionary conserved regulator of heritable gene silencing, in the biology of P. falciparum blood stage parasites. We demonstrate that conditional PfHP1 depletion de-represses hundreds of heterochromatic virulence genes and disrupts the elusive mechanism underlying mutually exclusive expression and antigenic variation of PfEMP1. Intriguingly, we also discovered that the PfHP1-dependent regulation of an ApiAP2 transcription factor controls the switch from asexual parasite proliferation to sexual differentiation. This uncovers the first mechanistic insight into the unknown pathway triggering gametocyte conversion and establishes a new concept of HP1-dependent cell fate decision in unicellular eukaryotes. P. falciparum 3D7 parasites expressing endogenous PfHP1-GFP-DD were grown in presence of 4nM WR/625nM Shield-1 (3D7/HP1ON) or 4nM WR (3D7/HP1OFF). RNA extracted from these samples at eleven consecutive time points each was processed for microarray analysis.

Discovery of telomere repeat-binding factor in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum

Project description:ChIP-seq experiments were performed for the putative telomere repeat-binding factor (PfTRF) in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum strain 3D7. The gene encoding this factor (PF3D7_1209300) was endogenously tagged with either a GFP- or a 3xHA-tag and these transgenic parasite lines were used in ChIP-sequencing experiments. Sequencing of the ChIP and input libraries showed enrichment of PfTRF at all telomere-repeat containing chromosome ends (reference genome Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 from PlasmoDB version 6.1) as well as in all upsB var promoters.In addition,PfTRF was enriched at seven additional, intra-chromosomal sites and called in the PfTRF-HA ChIP-seq only. Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 parasites were generated with -GFP or -3xHA C-terminal tagged TRF (PF3D7_1209300). Nuclei were isolated from formaldehyde cross-linked schizont-stage transgenic parasites and used to prepare chromatin. Chromatin immunoprecipitations were performed using mouse anti-GFP (Roche Diagnostics, #11814460001) or rat anti-HA 3F10 (Roche Diagnostics, #12158167001). Sequencing libraries were prepared according to a Plasmodium-optimized library preparation procedure including KAPA polymerase-mediated PCR amplification.

Mutually Exclusive Transcription of Subtelomeric Gene Families in Plasmodium falciparum is Restricted to var Genes

Project description:The P. falciparum genome is equipped with several subtelomeric gene families that are implicated in parasite virulence and immune evasion. The members of these gene families are uniformly positioned within heterochromatic domains of the genome and are thus subject to variegated expression. The best-studied example is that of the var gene family encoding the major parasite virulence factor P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1). Transcriptional regulation of other subtelomeric gene families and their role in parasite biology is much less understood. Here, we investigated the mode of transcriptional control of var, rif, stevor, phist and pfmc-2tm families by comparative genome-wide transcriptional profiling of transgenic parasite lines. Our results establish a clear functional distinction between var and non-var transcriptional control mechanisms. Unlike var promoters, we find that promoters of non-var families are not silenced by default. Moreover, we show that mutually exclusive transcription is unique to the var gene family. 3D7 wild-type parasites were transfected with constructs carrying eight different promoters that drive expression of the drug-selectable marker hdhfr-gfp. Thereof seven promoters are members of the multigene families upsA var, upsB var, upsC var, rif, stevor, phistb and pfmc-2tm. The cam promoter was used as transfection-based control and also a wild-type 3D7 cell line was included as control. These nine cell lines were subjected to genome-wide transcriptional profiling. Parasites were synchronized to obtain an 8 hour growth window and were harvested at four consecutive timepoints (TP): TP1 (6-14 hours post-invasion (hpi)); TP2 (14-22 hpi); TP3 (22-30 hpi); TP4 (30-38 hpi) to monitor intra- and inter-family specific linkage of multigene family expression.
