Project description:Toxoplasma gondii is a parasitic protist that is the agent of toxoplasmosis. It is capable of infecting all mammals, including humans. The infection is mainly asymptomatic in immunocompetent patients, but in case of immunosuppression or for the congenital form of toxoplasmosis it can lead to severe pathologies with a possible fatal outcome. T. gondii contains two organelles of endosymbiotic origin: the mitochondrion and the apicoplast, which is a non-photosynthetic plastid. These organelles contain important biochemical pathways which might be interesting targets for future therapeutic strategies. Iron-sulfur clusters are one of the most ancient and ubiquitous prosthetic groups, and they are required by a variety of proteins involved in important metabolic processes. As for plants, T. gondii has several pathways for biosynthesis of iron-sulfur proteins, located in three different cellular compartments: the cytoplasm, the mitochondrion and the apicoplast. We have investigated the relative contributions of the mitochondrion and the apicoplast to the iron-sulfur proteome of the parasite by generating specific mutants for key proteins of the mitochondrial (TgIscU) and plastidic (TgSufS) pathways, on which we performed a quantitative proteomic analysis.

Project description:Malaria parasites rely on a plastid organelle for survival during the blood stages of infection. However, the entire organelle is dispensable as long as the isoprenoid precursor isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) is supplemented in the culture medium. We engineered parasites to produce isoprenoid precursors from a mevalonate-dependent pathway, creating a parasite line that replicates normally after the loss of the apicoplast organelle. We show that carbon-labeled mevalonate is specifically incorporated into isoprenoid products, opening new avenues for researching this essential class of metabolites in malaria parasites. We also show that essential apicoplast proteins, such as the enzyme target of the drug fosmidomycin, can be deleted in this mevalonate bypass parasite line, providing a method to determine the roles of other important apicoplast-resident proteins. Several antibacterial drugs kill malaria parasites because they target basic processes, such as transcription, in the organelle. We used metabolomic and transcriptomic methods to characterize parasite metabolism after azithromycin treatment triggered loss of the apicoplast. These results provide insight into the effects of apicoplast-disrupting drugs, several of which have been used to treat malaria infections in humans. Overall, the mevalonate bypass system provides a way to probe essential aspects of apicoplast biology and study the effects of drugs that target apicoplast processes.

Project description:Euglena gracilis is regarded as a flexible and adaptable free-living protist of considerable biotechnological interest. We carried out proteomic analysis of the E. gracilis purified chloroplast and mitochondrion. These data provide a new level of insight into functions and unique characteristics of these organelles and reveals the manner, in which these differ from its counterparts in other organisms.

Project description:Tetracyclines are effective but slow-acting antimalarial drugs whose mechanism of action remains uncertain. To characterize the antimalarial mechanism of tetracyclines, we evaluated their stage-specific activities, impacts on parasite transcription, and effects on two predicted organelle targets, the apicoplast and the mitochondrion, in cultured Plasmodium falciparum. Antimalarial effects were much greater after two 48-h life cycles than after one cycle, even if the drugs were removed at the end of the first cycle. Doxycycline-treated parasites appeared morphologically normal until late in the second cycle of treatment but failed to develop into merozoites. Doxycycline specifically impaired the expression of apicoplast genes. Apicoplast morphology initially appeared normal in the presence of doxycycline. However, apicoplasts were abnormal in the progeny of doxycycline-treated parasites, as evidenced by a block in apicoplast genome replication, a lack of processing of an apicoplast-targeted protein, and failure to elongate and segregate during schizogeny. Replication of the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes and mitochondrial morphology appeared normal. Our results demonstrate that tetracyclines specifically block expression of the apicoplast genome, resulting in the distribution of nonfunctional apicoplasts into daughter merozoites. The loss of apicoplast function in the progeny of treated parasites leads to a slow but potent antimalarial effect. We analyzed a series of 12 microarrays covering 55 hours of Plasmodium falciparum treated with doxycycline and 12 microarrays covering the same 55 hours with no doxycycline treatment

Project description:The apicoplast of Plasmodium falciparum parasites is believed to rely on the import of three-carbon phosphate compounds for use in organelle anabolic pathways, in addition to the generation of energy and reducing power within the organelle. We generated a series of genetic deletions in an apicoplast metabolic bypass line to determine which genes involved in apicoplast carbon metabolism are required for blood-stage parasite survival and organelle maintenance. We were able to demonstrate that pyruvate kinase II (PyrKII), the sole predicted source of pyruvate and NTPs within the apicoplast, is essential for organelle maintenance. However, deletions within apicoplast pathways that metabolize pyruvate did not result in organelle disruption, indicating that NTPs generated by PyrKII are the products required for this process. Enzymatic characterization of PyrKII revealed that it was active against all NDPs and dNDPs tested with broad substrate specificity, suggesting that it may be capable of generating any and all NTPs and dNTPs within the organelle. Conditional mislocalization of PyrKII resulted in a decrease in transcript levels within the apicoplast that preceded organelle disruption, suggesting that PyrKII is required for organelle maintenance due to its role in nucleotide triphosphate generation within the apicoplast.

Project description:Current rDNA reference sequence databases are tailored towards shorter DNA markers, such as parts of the 16/18S marker or the internally transcribed spacer (ITS) region. However, due to advances in long-read DNA sequencing technologies, longer stretches of the rDNA operon are increasingly used in environmental sequencing studies to increase the phylogenetic resolution. There is, therefore, a growing need for longer rDNA reference sequences. Here, we present the ribosomal operon database (ROD), which includes eukaryotic full-length rDNA operons fished from publicly available genome assemblies. Full-length operons were detected in 34.1% of the 34,701 examined eukaryotic genome assemblies from NCBI. In most cases (53.1%), more than one operon variant was detected, which can be due to intragenomic operon copy variability, allelic variation in non-haploid genomes, or technical errors from the sequencing and assembly process. The highest copy number found was 5947 in Zea mays. In total, 453,697 unique operons were detected, with 69,480 operon variant clusters remaining after intragenomic clustering at 99% sequence identity. The operon length varied extensively across eukaryotes, ranging from 4136 to 16,463 bp, which will lead to considerable polymerase chain reaction (PCR) bias during amplification of the entire operon. Clustering the full-length operons revealed that the different parts (i.e., 18S, 28S, and the hypervariable regions V4 and V9 of 18S) provide divergent taxonomic resolution, with 18S, the V4 and V9 regions being the most conserved. The ROD will be updated regularly to provide an increasing number of full-length rDNA operons to the scientific community.

Project description:In the context of artemisinin resistance, the objective of the project was to evaluate the role of apicoplast and mitochondrion pathways during the parasite quiescent state induced by dihydroartemisinin (DHA) treatment. We performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of artemisinin-resistant parasites in two conditions: DHA treatment or DMSO treatment (as control condition) at the ring stage (obtained by D-sorbitol synchronization).
