An inner membrane complex protein IMC1g in Plasmodium berghei plays an essential role in asexual erythrocytic proliferation and transmission

ABSTRACT: The inner membrane complex (IMC), a double-membrane organelle underneath the plasma membrane in apicomplexan parasites, plays a significant role in motility and invasion and confers shape to the cell. We characterized the function of PbIMC1g, a component of the IMC1 family member in Plasmodium berghei. PbIMC1g is recruited to the IMC in late schizonts, activated gametocytes, and ookinetes. Pairwise yeast two-hybrid assays demonstrate that PbIMC1g interacts with IMC1c, a component of the PHIL1 complex, and the core sub-repeat motif ‘EKI(V)V(I)EVP’ in PbIMC1g is essential for this interaction. Localization of PbIMC1g to the IMC was dependent on its IMCp domain, while its C-terminus and palmitoylation sites were required for the full efficiency of proper IMC targeting. PbIMC1g is required for asexual stage development, and its conditional knockdown resulted in a defect in schizogony. Additionally, PbIMC1g was also important for male gametogenesis and ookinete development. As an IMC component that assists in anchoring the glideosome to the subpellicular network, PbIMC1g was also involved in ookinete motility and mosquito midgut invasion. IMC1g from the human parasite P. Plasmodium vivax could functionally replace PbIMC1g in P. berghei, confirming the evolutionary conservation of IMC1g proteins in Plasmodium spp. Together, this work reveals an essential role of IMC1g in the parasite life cycle and suggests that IMC1 family members likely contribute to parasite gliding and invasion.

Anopheles gambiae immune responses to human and rodent Plasmodium parasite species

Anopheles gambiae immune responses to human and rodent Plasmodium parasite species

Project description:Transmission of malaria is dependent on the successful completion of the Plasmodium lifecycle in the Anopheles vector. Major obstacles are encountered in the midgut tissue, where most parasites are killed by the mosquito’s immune system. In the present study, DNA microarray analyses have been used to compare Anopheles gambiae responses to invasion of the midgut epithelium by the ookinete stage of the human pathogen Plasmodium falciparum and the rodent experimental model pathogen P. berghei. Invasion by P. berghei had a more profound impact on the mosquito transcriptome, including a variety of functional gene classes, while P. falciparum elicited a broader immune response at the gene transcript level. Ingestion of human malaria-infected blood lacking invasive ookinetes also induced a variety of immune genes, including several anti-Plasmodium factors. By comparing gene expression patterns between carcassess or guts of mosquitoes that fed on a P. falciparum or P. berghei wt and mosquitoes that fed on invasion incapable strains we gain information on the A. gambiae transcriptional responses to the invading ookinete at 24 hours after feeding. By comparing gene expression patterns between carcassess or guts of mosquitoes that fed on a P. falciparum ookinete invasion incapable strain and mosquitoes that fed on non-infected blood we gain information on the A. gambiae transcriptional responses to malaria infected blood in absence of ookinete invasion at 24 hours after feeding. By comparing gene expression patterns between mosquitoes at 4 hours after being injected with either E. coli or S. aureus and mosquitoes injected with sterile PBS we gain information on the mosquito's transcriptional response to these bacterial challenges.

The Skp1-Cullin1-FBXO1 complex is a pleiotropic regulator required for the formation of gametes and zoites in Plasmodium berghei

Project description:Malaria-causing parasites of the Plasmodium genus undergo multiple developmental phases in the human and the mosquito hosts regulated by various post-translational modifications. While ubiquitination by multi-component E3 ligases is key to regulate a wide range of cellular processes in eukaryotes, little is known about its role in Plasmodium. Here we show that Plasmodium berghei expresses a conserved SKP1/Cullin1/FBXO1 complex showing tightly regulated expression and localisation across multiple developmental stages. It regulates cell division by controlling nucleus segregation during schizogony and centrosome partitioning during microgametogenesis. It additionally controls parasite-specific processes including gamete egress from the host erythrocyte, as well as formation of the merozoite apical complex and the ookinete inner membrane complex (IMC), two structures essential for Plasmodium dissemination, moreover it is critical for zygote to ookinete conversation. Ubiquitinomic surveys reveal a large set of proteins ubiquitinated in an FBXO1-dependent manner including proteins important for egress and IMC organisation. We additionally demonstrate bidirectional interplay between ubiquitination and phosphorylation via calcium-dependent protein kinase 1. Altogether we show that Plasmodium SCFFBXO1 plays conserved roles in cell division and additionally controls parasite-specific processes in the mammalian and mosquito hosts.

Genome-wide RIP-Chip analysis of translational repressor-bound mRNAs in the Plasmodium gametocyte

Project description:Following fertilisation, translation of stored, but previously translationally repressed transcripts, is instrumental in shaping the proteome of the early embryo of multicellular eukaryotes; further development relies on de novo transcription of the zygotic genome. A related process was evidenced in the unicellular protozoa Plasmodium berghei during transmission to the mosquito host where fertilisation and zygote development result in the formation of an entirely new cell type, the ookinete. DOZI and CITH are mRNP components that maintain mRNAs silent in the female precursor cell. In the absence of DOZI or CITH, hundreds of transcripts are destabilised, which does not block fertilization upon transmission to the mosquito host, but impairs further development of the malaria parasite. However, how many transcripts are bound by DOZI/CITH in these mRNPs and what are they remain unknown. Here, we investigated the extent of maternal contribution during post-fertilization development of P. berghei by RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP)-Chip data mining and provided further functional significance using gene tagging and gene knockout approaches. We provide conclusive evidence that in the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei 50% of the transcriptome of the female sexual precursor cell is stably associated with the translational repressors DOZI and CITH allowing morphogenesis of the zygote into the ookinete to proceed in the absence of RNA polymerase II transcription. Using in situ tagging with GFP we find for the first time novel genes that rely on translational repression on the 5' UTR. This maternal repressome provides the developing ookinete with coding potential for key molecules required during developmental progression: a near complete set of factors required for the gliding motility apparatus, but also protein trafficking, adhesins, proteases and other factors.

Elevated NAD+ drives Sir2A-mediated GCβ deacetylation and localization for Plasmodium ookinete gliding and mosquito infection

Project description:cGMP signal-activated ookinete gliding is essential for mosquito midgut infection of Plasmodium in malaria transmission. During ookinete development, cGMP synthesizer GCβ polarizes to a unique localization “ookinete extrados site” (OES) until ookinete maturation and activates cGMP signaling for initiating parasite motility. However, the mechanism underlying GCβ translocation from cytosol to OES remains elusive. Here, we used protein proximity labeling to search the GCβ-interacting proteins in ookinetes of the rodent malaria parasite P. yoelii, and found the top hit Sir2A, a NAD+-dependent sirtuin family deacetylase. Sir2A interacts with GCβ throughout ookinete development. In mature ookinetes, Sir2A co-localizes with GCβ at OES in a mutually dependent manner. Parasites lacking Sir2A lose GCβ localization at OES, ookinete gliding, and mosquito infection, phenocopying GCβ deficiency. GCβ is acetylated at gametocytes but is deacetylated by Sir2A for OES localization at mature ookinetes. We further demonstrated that the level of NAD+, an essential co-substrate for sirtuin, increases during the ookinete development. The NAD+ at its maximal level until ookinete maturation promotes Sir2A-catalyzed GCβ deacetylation, ensuring GCβ localization at OES. This study highlights the spatiotemporal coordination of cytosolic NAD+ level and NAD+-dependent Sir2A in regulating GCβ deacetylation and dynamic localization for Plasmodium ookinete gliding.
