Phosphoproteomics of Plasmodium falciparum infected red blood cells under Heat Stress


ABSTRACT: This project investigates changes in protein phosphorylation in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum in response to heat stress. During infection parasites are exposed to febrile temperatures in the human host. Heat stress is known to trigger adaptive responses but the role of protein phosphorylation in this process is not fully understood. The aim of this study is to identify phosphorylation events that change following exposure to elevated temperature. Synchronous asexual blood stage parasites were exposed to heat stress and compared with parasites maintained at normal culture temperature. Parasites were harvested after heat stress and proteins were extracted and digested into peptides. Phosphopeptides were enriched prior to analysis by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. The resulting data provide a global view of phosphorylation changes associated with heat stress in P. falciparum. This dataset enables the identification of heat responsive phosphosites and supports analysis of signalling pathways and regulatory processes that may contribute to parasite adaptation to febrile conditions.

Physiological febrile heat stress increases cytoadhesion through increased protein trafficking of <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> surface proteins into the red blood cell.

Fever is a hallmark of malaria. Several studies have linked febrile temperatures to reduced parasite viability, but also to increased cytoadhesion, a key driver of pathology. However, different mechanisms have been proposed to cause changes in cytoadhesion and parasite sensitivity to heat. Here, we demonstrate that exposure of <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i>-infected red blood cells (iRBCs) to physiologically relevant febrile heat stress (39 °C), derived from patient data, enhances cytoadhesion thr  ...[more]
