Project description:Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes can often show differential drug responses depending on their stage of development. Here, the transcriptomic response of early stage (Stage II-III) and late stage (Stage IV-V) gametocytes was evaluated following treatment with chemical compounds that show differential killing activity between early and late-stage gametocytes.

Project description:The sexual stages are vital phases in malaria parasite transmission and are the targets of various interventions such as transmission blocking vaccines. The molecular mechanisms underlying sexual development, however, remain poorly understood. We report mappping of a determinant previously linked to a male gametocyte development defect in the P. falciparum Dd2 parasite to an 82 kb region on chromosome 12. In order to find a critical gene in this region, we compared gene expression pattern in sexual stage of the parasite between Dd2 and its normal gametocyte-producing ancestor W2 clones. The region contains a sexual stage specific gene (pfmdv 1) that is expressed substantially at a lower level in the Dd2 than in W2 parasite. Disruption of pfmdv 1 results in a dramatic reduction in mature gametocytes, especially male gametocytes, with the majority of sexually committed parasites arrested at stage-I. The pfmdv-1 knockout parasites show an enlarged nucleus, often with separation of the inner and outer nuclear membranes and presence of multi-membrane vesicles in red blood cell cytoplasm. Mosquito infectivity of the knockout parasites is also greatly reduced, but not completely lost, suggesting presence of compensatory mechanisms in the sexual development pathways. Data include Day 8 gametocytes of male defective Dd2 and parental W2 clones of Plasmodium falciparum. The series includes three biological repeats. Keywords: repeat sample

Project description:Gametocytogenesis and gametogenesis in malaria parasites are complex processes of cell differentiation and development likely involving many gene products. Gametocytes develop in the blood of the vertebrate host but mature gametocytes are not activated until taken up by the mosquito vector. Several distinct mutants have been described that block gametogenesis but the detailed molecular causes for the mutant phenotypes are not understood. To investigate whether a block in gametogenesis also results in a changed transcriptional profile, we studied two gene deletions mutants; act2(-) lacking stage-specific actin II and CDPK4(-) lacking calcium-dependent protein kinase 4. Whole-genome microarray analysis was performed from RNA of mature gametocytes to compare the transcriptomes of the mutants with wild-type Plasmodium berghei. The microarray analysis identified ~12% of all genes being differentially expressed in either or both mutants compared to normal gametocytes, as defined by at least two-fold change in transcript abundance. A large proportion of differentially expressed genes in both mutants overlapped consistent with the developmental gametocyte arrest. Distinct profiles in each mutant were also observed. Microarray experiments were performed as dual-color hybridizations on Agilent-024169 custom whole genome Plasmodium berghei 44K arrays. To compensate for dye-specific effects, a dye-reversal color-swap was applied.

Project description:The identification of Pf377 interacting proteins in the osmiophilic bodies in P. falciparum gametocytes. In a comparative proteomics approach, immunopurified Pfg377 complexes were obtained in wild type and Osmiophilic Body -depleted gametocytes (Pf377 knock out gametocytes) and were analyzed by LC-MS/MS to identify Pfg377 interaction partners in wt gametocytes as candidate for OB associated proteins.

Project description:Sexual differentiation of malaria parasites into gametocytes in the vertebrate host and subsequent gamete fertilisation in mosquitoes is essential for the spreading of the disease. The molecular processes orchestrating these transitions are far from fully understood. Here we report the first transcriptome analysis of male and female Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes coupled with a comprehensive proteome analysis. In male gametocytes there is an enrichment of proteins involved in the formation of flagellated gametes; proteins involved in DNA replication, chromatin organisation and axoneme formation. On the other hand, female gametocytes are enriched in proteins required for zygote formation and functions after fertilisation; protein-, lipid- and energy-metabolism. Integration of transcriptome and proteome data revealed 512 highly expressed maternal transcripts without corresponding protein expression indicating large scale translational repression in P. falciparum female gametocytes for the first time. Despite a high degree of conservation between Plasmodium species, 260 of these ârepressed transcriptsâ have not been previously described. Moreover, for some of these genes, protein expression is only reported in oocysts and sporozoites indicating that repressed transcripts can be partitioned into short- and long-term storage. Finally, these data sets provide an essential resource for identification of vaccine/drug targets and for further mechanistic studies.
