Protein arginine methylation in Trypanosomes

ABSTRACT: We report on mRNA expression changes in Trypanosoma brucei with Zinc finger protein ZFP3 variants R68/71F, R68/71K, and an RNAi knockdown. Abundance of mRNA transcripts was determined with short read RNA-Seq after variant expression or RNAi knockdown induction with doxycycline. Differentially expressed transcripts were identified across all conditions.

UMSBP2 is chromatin remodeler that functions in regulation of gene expression and suppression of antigenic variation in trypanosomes [RNA-seq]

Project description:Universal Minicircle Sequence binding proteins (UMSBPs) are CCHC-type zinc-finger proteins that bind the single-stranded G-rich UMS sequence, conserved at the replication origins of minicircles in the kinetoplast DNA, the mitochondrial genome of trypanosomatids. Trypanosoma brucei UMSBP2 has been recently shown to colocalize with telomeres and play an essential role in chromosome ends protection. Here we report that TbUMSBP2 decondenses in vitro DNA molecules, which were condensed by core histones H2B, H4 or linker histone H1. DNA decondensation is mediated via protein-protein interactions between TbUMSBP2 and these histones, independently of its, previously described, DNA binding activity. Silencing of the TbUMSBP2 gene resulted in a significant decrease in the disassembly of nucleosomes in T. brucei chromatin, a phenotype that could be reverted, by supplementing the knockdown cells with TbUMSBP2. Transcriptome analysis revealed that silencing of TbUMSBP2 affects the expression of multiple genes in T. brucei, with a most significant effect on the upregulation of the subtelomeric variant surface glycoproteins (VSG) genes, which mediate the antigenic variation in African trypanosomes. These observations suggest that UMSBP2 is a chromatin remodeling protein that functions in the regulation of gene expression that plays a role in the control of antigenic variation in T. brucei.

A post-transcriptional respiratome regulon in trypanosomes

Project description:Post-transcriptional regulons coordinate the expression of groups of genes in eukaryotic cells, yet relatively few have been characterised. Parasitic trypanosomatids are particularly good models for studies on such mechanisms because they exhibit almost exclusive polycistronic, and unregulated, transcription. Here, we identify the Trypanosoma brucei ZC3H39/40 RNA-binding proteins as regulators of the respiratome; the mitochondrial electron transport chain (complexes I-IV) and the FoF1-ATP synthase (complex V). A high-throughput RNAi screen initially implicated both ZC3H proteins in variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) gene silencing. This link was confirmed and both proteins were shown to form a cytoplasmic ZC3H39/40 complex. Transcriptome and mRNA-interactome analyses indicated that the impact on VSG silencing was indirect, while the ZC3H39/40 complex specifically bound and stabilised transcripts encoding respiratome-complexes. Quantitative proteomic analyses revealed specific positive control of respiratome protein abundance. Our findings establish a link between the mitochondrial respiratome and VSG gene silencing. They also reveal a major respiratome regulon controlled by the conserved trypanosomatid ZC3H39/40 RNA-binding proteins.

Next generation sequencing of transcripts associated to four selected RNA-binding proteins in Tripanosoma brucei

Project description:We report the sequencing of mRNAs associated with four Trypanosoma brucei translation intiation proteins EIF4E3, EIF4E4, EIF4G3 and EIF4G4. To investigate if the proteins have redundant functions, we analyzed mRNAs subpopulations in cells submitted to RNAi of EIF4E3 and EIF4E4. The reduction of EIF4E3 protein levels did not change the profile of mRNA populations associated to EIF4E4.

A unique mRNA decapping complex in trypanosomes

Project description:Removal of mRNA 5’ caps primes transcripts for degradation and is central for regulating gene expression in eukaryotes. The canonical decapping enzyme DCP2 is stringently controlled by assembly into a dynamic multi-protein complex together with the 5´-3´exoribonuclease Xrn1. Kinetoplastida lack DCP2 orthologues but instead rely on the ApaH-like phosphatase ALPH1 for decapping. The enzyme is composed of a catalytic domain flanked by C-terminal and N-terminal extensions. Here we analyse the ALPH1 interactome by BioID proximity labelling for the full length protein and truncated versions in order to assign domain specific interactions. We show that Trypanosoma brucei ALPH1 acts in a complex composed of the trypanosome XRN1 ortholog XRNA and four proteins that are unique to Kinetoplastida.The interactome is validated by reverse experiments targeting T. brucei and T. cruzi XRNA by affinity capture and, additionally, the ALPH1 interacting CMGC-family kinase by BioID.
