Cooperative binding of ApiAP2 transcription factors is crucial for the expression of virulence genes in Toxoplasma gondii. [RNA-seq]

Project description:Toxoplasma gondii is a unicellular eukaryote belonging to the Apicomplexa phylum. It is an obligate intracellular parasite of critical importance to primarily infected pregnant women and immunosuppressed patient. ApiAP2 are a family of conserved transcription factors (TF) that play an important role in regulating gene expression in apicomplexan parasites. Previous studies had revealed the ability of one of these TFs, TgAP2XI-5, to bind to transcriptionally active promoters of genes expressed during the S/M phase such as rhoptry and micronemes genes. However, expression of TgAP2XI-5 is constitutive during the tachyzoite cell cycle. To better understand how its function is regulated, we identified proteins interacting with TgAP2XI-5 including a cell cycle regulated ApiAP2 TFs, TgAP2X-5. The purpose of the study is to determine the impact of the absence of a TF (TgAP2X-5) on the wide expression profile of a Toxoplasma gondii strain.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) of TgAP2XI-5 together with chromatin in absence of TgAP2X-5 profiling by ChIP-on-chip analysis demonstrated that TgAP2X-5 co-acts with TgAP2XI-5 for its binding to DNA of certain promoter targets.

Unveiling the Transcriptional Regulation of Development in Toxoplasma gondii: Insights into a Cascade AP2 Regulatory Network

Project description:Toxoplasma gondii is a medically and veterinary important intracellular parasite that undergoes distinct developmental transitions in its intermediate and definitive hosts. The switch between stages of T. gondii is meticulously regulated by a variety of factors. Previous studies have explored the role of the microrchidia (MORC) protein complex as a transcriptional suppressor of sexual commitment. By utilizing immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry, constituents of this protein complex have been identified, including MORC, Histone Deacetylase 3 (HDAC3), and several ApiApiAP2 transcription factors. Conditional knockout of MORC or inhibition of HDAC3 results in upregulation of a set of genes associated with schizogony and sexual stages in T. gondii tachyzoites. Here, our focus extends to three primary ApiAP2s: ApiAP2XII-1, ApiAP2XI-2, and ApiAP2V-2, demonstrating their significant impact on the fitness of asexual tachyzoites and their target genes. Notably, the targeted disruption of ApiAP2XII-1 and ApiAP2XI-2 resulted in a more profound alteration in merozoite-specific genes targeted by the MORC/HDAC3 complex compared to ApiAP2V-2. Additionally, considerable overlap was observed in downstream gene profiles between ApiAP2XII-1 and ApiAP2XI-2, with ApiAP2XII-1 specifically binding to a subset of ApiAP2 transcription factors, including ApiAP2XI-2. These findings reveal an intricate cascade of ApiAP2 regulatory networks involved in T. gondii schizogony development, orchestrated by ApiAP2XII-1 and ApiAP2XI-2. This study provides valuable insights into the transcriptional regulation of T. gondii growth and development, shedding light on the intricate life cycle of this parasitic pathogen.

Toxoplasma gondii RNASeq

Project description:Recent advances in high throughput sequencing methodologies allow the opportunity to probe in depth the transcriptomes of organisms including N. caninum and Toxoplasma gondii. In this project, we are using Illumina sequencing technology to analyze the transcriptome (RNA-Seq) of experimentally accessible stages (e.g. tachyzoites at different times points) of T. gondii VEG strain. The aim is to make comparative transcriptional landscape maps of Neospora and Toxoplasma at different time points at different life cycle stages and compare levels of expression of orthologous genes in these two organisms.
