P. falciparum-specific Genomic Context Protein-Binding Microarray


ABSTRACT: Development of the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum is regulated by a limited number of sequence-specific transcription factors (TFs). However, the mechanisms by which these TFs recognize genome-wide binding sites to regulate target genes is still largely unknown. To address TF target specificity, we investigated the binding of two TF subsets that either bind CACACA or GTGCAC and further characterized PfAP2-G and PfAP2-EXP which bind unique DNA motifs (GTAC and TGCATGCA). We interrogated the impact of DNA sequence context and the chromatin landscape on P. falciparum TF binding using high-throughput in vitro and in vivo binding assays, DNA shape predictions, epigenetic post-translational modifications, and chromatin accessibility. We determined that DNA sequence context does not greatly impact binding site selection for CACACA-binding TFs, while chromatin accessibility, epigenetic patterns, co-factor recruitment, and dimerization contribute to differential binding. In contrast, GTGCAC-binding TFs prefer different sequence contexts, DNA shape profiles, and chromatin dynamics. Finally, we find that TFs that preferentially bind divergent DNA motifs may bind overlapping genomic regions in vivo due to low-affinity binding to other sequence motifs. Our results demonstrate that TF binding site selection relies on a combination of DNA sequence and chromatin features, thereby contributing to the complexity of P. falciparum gene regulatory mechanisms.
