A type II protein arginine methyltransferase regulates merozoite invasion in Plasmodium falciparum.

Project description:Protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) regulate many important cellular processes, such as transcription and RNA processing in model organisms but their functions in human malaria parasites are not elucidated. Here, we characterize PfPRMT5 in Plasmodium falciparum, which catalyzes symmetric dimethylation of histone H3 at R2 (H3R2me2s) and R8, and histone H4 at R3 in vitro. PfPRMT5 disruption results in asexual stage growth defects primarily due to lower invasion efficiency of the merozoites. Transcriptomic analysis reveals down-regulation of many transcripts related to invasion upon PfPRMT5 disruption, in agreement with H3R2me2s being an active chromatin mark. Genome-wide chromatin profiling detects extensive H3R2me2s marking of genes of different cellular processes, including invasion-related genes in wildtype parasites and PfPRMT5 disruption leads to the depletion of H3R2me2s. Interactome studies identify the association of PfPRMT5 with invasion-related transcriptional regulators such as AP2-I, BDP1, and GCN5. Furthermore, PfPRMT5 is associated with the RNA splicing machinery, and PfPRMT5 disruption caused substantial anomalies in RNA splicing events, including those for invasion-related genes. In summary, PfPRMT5 is critical for regulating parasite invasion and RNA splicing in this early-branching eukaryote.

Activity of bromodomain protein inhibitors/binders against asexual-stage Plasmodium falciparum parasites.

Project description:Bromodomain-containing proteins (BDPs) are involved in the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression. Compounds that bind and/or inhibit BDPs are of interest as tools to better understand epigenetic regulation, and as possible drug leads for different diseases, including malaria. In this study, we assessed the activity of 42 compounds demonstrated or predicted (using virtual screening of a pharmacophore model) to bind/inhibit eukaryotic BDPs for activity against Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasites. In silico docking studies indicated that all compounds are predicted to participate in a typical hydrogen bond interaction with the conserved asparagine (Asn1436) of the P. falciparum histone acetyltransferase (PfGCN5) bromodomain and a conserved water molecule. Only one compound (the dimethylisoxazole SGC-CBP30; a selective inhibitor of CREBBP (CBP) and EP300 bromodomains) is also predicted to have a salt-bridge between the morpholine nitrogen and Glu1389. When tested for in vitro activity against asynchronous asexual stage P. falciparum Dd2 parasites, all compounds displayed 50% growth inhibitory concentrations (IC50) >10 μM. Further testing of the three most potent compounds using synchronous parasites for 72 h showed that SGC-CBP30 was the most active (IC50 3.2 μM). In vitro cytotoxicity assays showed that SGC-CBP30 has ∼7-fold better selectivity for the parasites versus a human cell line (HEK 293). Together these data provide a possible starting point for future investigation of these, or related compounds, as tools to understand epigenetic regulation or as potential new drug leads.
