Effect of depleting BFD1-regulated gene-expression factors (TGME49_253790, TGME49_208020, TGME49_224630, TGME49_306620, TGME49_311100) on the Toxoplasma transcriptome during alkaline stress

ABSTRACT: The transcription factor BFD1 is the master regulator of the Toxoplasma chronic-stage differentiation program, which is induced under alkaline stress. Prior work indicated that BFD1 transcriptionally activates five other putative RNA- and DNA-binding proteins during differentiation, suggesting potential secondary roles in shaping the Toxoplasma chronic-stage transcriptome. To describe the distinct genetic cohorts controlled by these factors, we generated individual knockdown strains for each candidate using the auxin inducible degron system (TIR1/AID) and examined the transcriptomic effects of their depletion under alkaline stress.

Effect of BFD2 (TGME49_311100) knockout on T. gondii gene expression during BFD1 induction

Project description:The acute-to-chronic stage transition in Toxoplasma gondii involes a global restructuring of the parasite transcriptome. Prior work identified a single transcription factor (BFD1) that is both necessary and sufficient to establish the chronic-stage program, making it the master regulator of this process. Recently, we found that parasites lacking a CCCH-type zinc finger RNA-binding protein (BFD2) are also unable to produce chronic forms. To understand how BFD2 aids in establishing the BFD1 transcriptional program, we knocked out BFD2 in a BFD1-conditional expression strain, wherein BFD1 is induced by treatment with the small molecule Shield-1.

Characterization of the BFD2-bound transcriptome in chronic-stage T. gondii

Project description:The acute-to-chronic stage transition in Toxoplasma gondii involes a global restructuring of the parasite transcriptome and can be induced by alkaline stress. Prior work identified the master regulator of this process: a MYB-like transcription factor named BFD1 that is specifically induced under stress and is both necessary and sufficient to drive differentiation. Recently, we found that parasites lacking a CCCH-type zinc finger RNA-binding protein (BFD2) are also unable to produce chronic forms due to an inability to robustly express BFD1. To test whether the influence of BFD2 on BFD1 expression involves interaction with this or other transcripts, we performed BFD2 immunoprecipitation and sequencing (RIP-seq) under alkaline stress.

Effects of BFD1 (TGME49_200385) and BFD2 (TGME49_311100) deletion on gene expression in Toxoplasma gondii during infection in neurons

Project description:Differentiation of proliferative acute stages into semi-quiescent chronic stages is key for Toxoplasma gondii persistence within an infected host. During natural infection, chronic stages are almost exclusively found in neurons, and it is well appreciated that neurons support high rates of spontaneous differentiation in cell culture. Recently, we found that parasites lacking the RNA-binding protein BFD2 are unable to produce chronic forms, consistent with a block in this develomental program. To compare the effects of BFD1 and BFD2 on chronic-stage transcriptional reprogramming in T. gondii, we profiled the transcriptomes of both 'wildtype' and BFD1- and BFD2-knockout parasites during infection of murine primary neurons.

A positive feedback loop controls Toxoplasma chronic differentiation

Project description:Successful infection strategies must balance pathogen amplification and persistence. In Toxoplasma gondii, this is accomplished through differentiation into dedicated cyst-forming chronic stages that avoid clearance by the host immune system. The transcription factor BFD1 is both necessary and sufficient for stage conversion; however, its regulation is not understood. We examine five factors transcriptionally activated by BFD1. One of these is a cytosolic RNA-binding protein of the CCCH-type zinc finger family, which we name BFD2. Parasites lacking BFD2 fail to induce BFD1 and are consequently unable to fully differentiate in culture or in mice. BFD2 interacts with the BFD1 transcript under stress and deletion of BFD2 reduces BFD1 protein levels, but not mRNA abundance. The reciprocal effects on BFD2 transcription and BFD1 translation outline a positive feedback loop that enforces commitment to differentiation. BFD2 helps explain how parasites commit to the chronic gene-expression program and elucidates how the balance between proliferation and persistence is achieved over the course of infection.
