Global transcriptome analysis indicates that depletion of rps13 and ribosomes leads to cell cycle arrest in G1

ABSTRACT: Affymetrix Toxoplasma microarray data was analyzed to determine whether there was an association with a G1 transcript profile. Four hundred seventy-five genes with significant gene expression differences (Welch T-test, P = 0.01) between ±ATc samples were identified. Genes were clustered into those increased (153) or decreased (322) -ATc. There are a number of genes with diminished expression and pronounced over expression -ATc including LDH1, 4 zinc finger proteins, leucine-rich protein, and ABC transporter-like molecules, myosin-related molecules with many fold increases and one AP2 protein with a small increase. These gene sets have a large overlap with G1 genes defined in an ongoing cell cycle expression study in T. gondii (Behnke, White). Over 60% of those genes that have diminished expression -ATc overlap with genes that are diminished at G1, and over 40% of genes with increased expression -ATc overlap with genes that are up regulated at G1. A hypergeometric distribution of this association suggests that the probability of this happening by chance is essentially zero. Thus, by both methods, FACS and arrays, parasites -ATc display a G1 profile. To determine the global transcriptional differences of the RSP13 conditional mutant with and without anhydrotetracycline (ATc). Four replicates each.
