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