Nucleotide sugar biosynthesis occurs in the glycosomes of procyclic and bloodstream form Trypanosoma brucei

ABSTRACT: In Trypanosoma brucei, there are fourteen enzymatic biotransformations that collectively convert glucose into five essential nucleotide sugars: UDP-Glc, UDP-Gal, UDP-GlcNAc, GDP-Man and GDP-Fuc. These biotransformations are catalyzed by thirteen discrete enzymes, five of which possess putative peroxisome targeting sequences. Published experimental analyses using immunofluorescence microscopy and/or digitonin latency and/or subcellular fractionation and/or organelle proteomics have localized eight and six of these enzymes to the glycosomes of bloodstream form and procyclic form T. brucei, respectively. Here we increase these glycosome localizations to eleven in both lifecycle stages while noting that one, phospho-N-acetylglucosamine mutase, also localizes to the cytoplasm. In the course of these studies, the heterogeneity of glycosome contents was also noted. These data suggest that, unlike other eukaryotes, all of nucleotide sugar biosynthesis in T. brucei is compartmentalized to the glycosomes in both lifecycle stages.

The trypanosome UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase is active in both the glycosomal and cytosolic compartments and is imported into glycosomes by piggybacking

Project description:Trypanosoma brucei, the etiological agent of sleeping sickness, has particular peroxisome-like organelles called glycosomes where several metabolic pathways are compartmentalized, including glycolysis. Many enzymes from sugar nucleotide biosynthetic pathways are located in this organelle, contrasting with the cytosolic localisation reported in the eukaryota domain. The UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (UGP), the enzyme responsible for UDP-glucose (UDP-Glc) production, is essential for growth and survival of trypanosomes. In addition, UGP is localized in both glycosomes and cytosol, raising questions about why would these parasites maintain a pathway functional in two different subcellular compartments. UGP is imported into glycosomes by piggybacking on the glycosomal protein PEPCK, which is the first evidence of piggybacking involving two proteins not functionally related, and the first report in trypanosomatids. The dataset demonstrates that UGP is present in the total cellular extract and the glycocomal fraction of the wild-type trypanosomes, while only in the total cellular extract of the PEPCK null mutant.

Proteomic identification of the UDP-GlcNAc : PI α1-6 GlcNAc-transferase subunits of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol biosynthetic pathway of Trypanosoma brucei.

Project description:The first step of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor biosynthesis in all eukaryotes is the addition of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) to phosphatidylinositol (PI) which is catalysed by a UDP-GlcNAc : PI α1-6 GlcNAc-transferase. This enzyme has been shown to be a complex of at least seven subunits in mammalian cells and a similar complex of homologous subunits has been postulated in yeast. Homologs of most of these mammalian and yeast subunits were identified in the Trypanosoma brucei predicted protein database. The putative catalytic subunit of the T. brucei complex,TbGPI3, was epitope tagged with three consecutive c-Myc sequences at its C-terminus. Immunoprecipitation of TbGPI3-3Myc followed by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and anti-Myc Western blot showed that it is present in a ~240 kDa complex. Label-free quantitative proteomics were performed to compare anti-Myc pull-downs from lysates of TbGPI-3Myc expressing and wild type cell lines. TbGPI3-3Myc was the most highly enriched protein in the TbGPI3-3Myc lysate pull-down and partner proteins TbGPI15, TbGPI9, TbGPI2, TbGPI1 and TbERI1 were also identified with significant enrichment. Our proteomics data also suggest that an Arv-1 like protein (TbArv1) is a subunit of the T. brucei complex. Yeast and mammalian Arv1 have been previously implicated in GPI biosynthesis, but here we present the first experimental evidence for physical association of Arv1 with GPI biosynthetic machinery. A putative E2-ligase has also been tentatively identified as part of the T. brucei UDP-GlcNAc : PI α1-6 GlcNAc-transferase complex.

Dynamic profiling of the protein life cycle in response to pathogens (protein)

Project description:Protein expression is regulated by production and degradation of mRNAs and proteins, but their specific relationships remain unknown. We combine measurements of protein production and degradation and mRNA dynamics to build a quantitative genomic model of the differential regulation of gene expression in LPS stimulated mouse dendritic cells. Changes in mRNA abundance play a dominant role in determining most dynamic fold changes in protein levels. Conversely, the preexisting proteome of proteins performing basic cellular functions is remodeled primarily through changes in protein production or degradation, accounting for over half of the absolute change in protein molecules in the cell. Thus, the proteome is regulated by transcriptional induction of novel cellular functions and remodeling of preexisting functions through the protein life cycle. Mouse primary dendritic cells were treated with LPS or mock stimulus and profiled over a 12-hour time course. Cells were grown in M-labeled SILAC media, which was replaced with H-labeled SILAC media at time 0. Aliquots were taken at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 12 hours post-stimulation and added to equal volumes of a master mix of unlabeled (L) cells for the purpose of normalization. RNA-Seq was performed at 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 hours post-stimulation.

Regulation of Transcription Termination by Glucosylated Hydroxymethyluracil, Base J, in L. major and T. brucei

Project description:Base J, β-D-glucosyl-hydroxymethyluracil, is an epigenetic modification of thymine in the nuclear DNA of flagellated protozoa of the order Kinetoplastida. J is enriched at sites involved in RNA Polymerase (RNAP) II initiation and termination. We have previously demonstrated a role of J in regulating RNAP II initiation in Trypanosoma cruzi. Reduction of J in Leishmania tarentolae via growth in BrdU resulted in cell death and indicated a role of J in the regulation of RNAP II termination. To further explore J function in RNAP II termination among kinetoplastids and avoid indirect effects associated with BrdU toxicity and genetic deletions, we inhibited J synthesis in L. major and T. brucei using DMOG. Reduction of J in L. major resulted in genome-wide defects in transcription termination and the generation of antisense RNAs, without cell death. In contrast, loss of J in T. brucei did not lead to genome-wide termination defects; however, the loss of J at specific sites within polycistronic gene clusters led to altered transcription elongation and increased expression of downstream genes. Thus, J regulation of transcription termination genome-wide is restricted to Leishmania spp., while in T. brucei it regulates RNAP II elongation and gene expression at specific genomic loci. We studied the effect of loss of base J on transcription using WT and WT cells grown in DMOG-containing medium. We used 2 RNA-seq libraries containing processed RNA products and 4 small RNA libraries representing the entire transcriptome.

Low Dose Gamma Irradiation of Trypanosoma evansi Parasites Identifies Molecular Changes That Ooccur to Repair Radiation Damage and Gene Transcripts That May be Involved in Establishing Disease in Mice Post Irradiation

Project description:The protozoan parasite Trypanosoma evansi is responsible for causing Surra in a variety of mammalian hosts over a wide geographical area. In order to identify which genes and processes are required to establish disease in mice, parasites were irradiated over a range using a Cobalt60 gamma source. A custom Trypanosome spp. array that covers the genomes of three trypanosome species, T. brucei, T. evansi and T. congolense was designed by Affymetrix with an average of 9300 whole gene transcripts from all three species were targeted. Irradiation differentially affected the abundance of gene transcripts in a dose-dependent trend. We present these genes as necessary for repair from irradiation damage, and essential for disease establishment in mice post irradiation.

Charting Organellar Importomes by Quantitative Mass Spectrometry - ERV1 organelle-enriched fractions

Project description:Protein import into organelles is essential for all eukaryotes and facilitated by multi-protein translocation machineries. Analyzing whether a protein is transported into an organelle is largely restricted to single constituents. This renders knowledge about imported proteins incomplete, limiting our understanding of organellar biogenesis and function. Here, we introduce a method that enables to chart an organelle’s importome. Our method relies on inducible RNAi-mediated knockdown of an essential subunit of a translocase to impair import, metabolic labeling and quantitative mass spectrometry. To highlight its potential, we established the mitochondrial importome of Trypanosoma brucei, comprising 1,120 proteins including 331 new candidates. An exciting feature of this method is that it overcomes limitations in identifying proteins with dual or multiple locations. We demonstrate the specificity and versatility of this novel ImportOmics method by targeting import machineries in mitochondria and glycosomes demonstrating its high potential for globally studying protein import and inventories of organelles.

Project description:Leishmania donovani is a kinetoplastid protozoan which causes Kala-azar or visceral leishmaniasis.Leishmania possess glycosomes that are unique and specialized subcellular microbody organelles. Glycosomes are known to harbor most peroxisomal enzymes and in addition they also possess glycolytic enzymes. In the present study, we carried out proteomic profiling of purified glycosomes isolated from L. donovani promastigotes using high resolution mass spectrometry. The majority of identified proteins are involved in metabolic processes such as carbohydrate, lipid and nucleic acid metabolism. Our present proteomic analysis is the most comprehensive study till date to map the proteome of L. donovaniglycosomes.
