Tryptophan C-mannosylation is critical for Plasmodium falciparum transmission Dataset1


ABSTRACT: C-mannosylation stabilizes proteins bearing a thrombospondin repeat (TSR) domain in metazoans. Here we show that Plasmodium falciparum expresses a DPY19 C-mannosyltransferase in the endoplasmic reticulum and that DPY19-deficiency abolishes C-glycosylation, destabilizes members of the TRAP adhesin family and inhibits transmission to mosquitoes. P. falciparum gametogenesis was imaged in its entirety in four dimensions using lattice light-sheet microscopy. This revealed defects in egress and exflagellation for DPY19 microgametes. While exflagellation was diminished, DPY19 microgametes still fertilized macrogametes, forming ookinetes but these were abrogated for mosquito infection. The gametogenesis defects corresponded with destabilization of MTRAP, which we show is C-mannosylated in P. falciparum, and the ookinete defect was concordant with defective CTRP secretion on the DPY19 background. Genetic complementation of DPY19 restored ookinete infectivity, sporozoite production and C-mannosylation activity. Therefore, tryptophan C-mannosylation by DPY19 in the early secretory pathway ensures TSR protein quality control at two lifecycle stages for successful transmission of the human malaria parasite.
