Rapid activation of distinct member of multigene families in Plasmodium spp.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study is to provide a novel method to study multigene proteins in Plasmodium spp. The method is based on selection linked integration (SLI), which allows positive selection of genomic integration events. By targeting specific members of multigene families, parasites are being selected for not only genomic integration but also expression of the targeted gene under its endogenous promoter

ORGANISM(S): Plasmodium falciparum

Rapid activation of distinct members of multigene families in Plasmodium spp.

Project description:Variant antigens that are encoded by large multigene families play an important role in the adaptation and immune evasion of a wide range of pathogens. However, the study of their biological function is significantly hampered by the difficulty in controlling their expression in its cellular setting. The genomes of Plasmodium spp. encode a number of different multigene families that are thought to play a critical role for their survival. However, with the exception of the P. falciparum var genes very little is known about the biological roles of any of the other multigene families. Here we report a highly efficient genetic system to study variant antigens in Plasmodium spp. using the Selection Linked Integration method; we are able to activate the expression of a single member of a multigene of our choice using its endogenous promoter.

Rapid activation of distinct members of multigene families in Plasmodium spp.

Project description:The genomes of Plasmodium spp. encode a number of different multigene families that are thought to play a critical role for survival. However, with the exception of the P. falciparum var genes, very little is known about the biological roles of any of the other multigene families. Using the recently developed Selection Linked Integration method, we have been able to activate the expression of a single member of a multigene family of our choice in Plasmodium spp. from its endogenous promoter. We demonstrate the usefulness of this approach by activating the expression of a unique var, rifin and stevor in P. falciparum as well as yir in P. yoelii. Characterization of the selected parasites reveals differences between the different families in terms of mutual exclusive control, co-regulation, and host adaptation. Our results further support the application of the approach for the study of multigene families in Plasmodium and other organisms.
