Non-histone protein methylation in Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes

ABSTRACT: Trypanosoma cruzi is a protozoan parasite that causes Chagas’ disease in humans and throughout its life cycle faces different environment changes. Protein methylation is an important post-translational modification by which cells respond and adapt to the environment. To understand the importance of protein methylation in T.cruzi biology, we applied mass spectrometry-based proteomics and report the first proteomic analysis of both arginine and lysine methylproteome in T. cruzi.

ST8Sia2 polysialyltransferase protects against infection by Trypanosoma cruzi

Project description:Glycosylation is one of the most structurally and functionally diverse co- and post-translational modifications in a cell. Addition and removal of glycans, especially to proteins and lipids, characterize this process which have important implications in several biological processes. In mammals, the repeated enzymatic addition of a sialic acid unit to underlying sialic acids (Sia) by polysialyltransferases, including ST8Sia2, leads to the formation of a sugar polymer called polysialic acid (polySia). The functional relevance of polySia has been extensively demonstrated in the nervous system. However, the role of polysialylation in infection is still poorly explored. Previous reports have shown that Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), a flagellated parasite that causes Chagas disease (CD), changes host sialylation of glycoproteins. To understand the role of host polySia during T. cruzi infection, we used a combination of in silico and experimental tools. We observed that T. cruzi reduces both the expression of the ST8Sia2 and the polysialylation of target substrates. We also found that chemical and genetic inhibition of host ST8Sia2 increased the parasite load in mammalian cells. For the first time, we demonstrated that modulating host polysialylation may induce oxidative stress, creating a microenvironment that favors T. cruzi survival and infection. These findings suggest a novel approach to interfere with parasite infections through modulation of host polysialylation.

Trypanosoma cruzi interaction with host tissues modulate the composition of large extracellular vesicles

Project description:Trypanosoma cruzi is the protozoan that causes Chagas disease, an endemic parasitosis in Latin America that has spread around the globe. Recently, a series of studies indicate that the gastrointestinal tract represents an important reservoir for T. cruzi in the chronic phase. It is also known that, during contact between T. cruzi and host cells, there is a release of extracellular vesicles (EVs) that modulates the immune system and enhances the infection, but the dynamics of secretion of host and parasite molecules through these EVs is not understood. In this study, we used two cell lines to simulate the environments found by the parasite in the host: C2C12 cell (myoblast) and Caco-2 cell (intestinal epithelium). We isolated large EVs (LEVs) from the interaction of T. cruzi culture-derived trypomastigotes (TCTs) belonging to two distinct strains (CL Brener, DTU Tc VI and Dm28c DTU Tc I) in contact with C2C12 and Caco-2 cells to 2 hours and after 24 hours of infection. The interaction of the parasite with the host cell induces a switch in the functionality of proteins carried by LEVs and a varied tissue answer. Protein-protein interaction analysis indicates that LEVs carry key proteins for host-pathogen interaction that could participate in the pathogenesis of Chagas Disease.

Histone post-translational modifications of Trypanosoma cruzi: a high-confidence comprehensive map

Project description:In humans and other eukaryotes, histone post-translational modifications (hPTMs) play an essential role in the epigenetic control of gene expression. In trypanosomatid parasites, conversely, gene regulation occurs mainly at the post-transcriptional level. However, our group has recently shown that hPTMs are abundant and varied in Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas Disease, signaling for possible conserved epigenetic functions. Here, we provide a high-confidence comprehensive map of hPTMs, distributed in all canonical, variant and linker histones of T. cruzi. Our updated landscape expands the number of known T. cruzi hPTMs by almost 2-fold, representing the largest dataset of hPTMs available to any trypanosomatid to date, and can be used as a basis for functional studies on the dynamic regulation of chromatin by epigenetic mechanisms and the selection of candidates for the development of epigenetic drugs in trypanosomatids.

Quantitative phosphoproteome and proteome analysis emphasize the influence of phosphorylation events during the nutritional stress of Trypanosoma cruzi: the initial moments of in vitro metacyclogenesis

Project description:Phosphorylation is an important event in cell signaling that is modulated by kinases and phosphatases. In T. cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease, approximately 2% of the genome comprises protein kinases. This parasite has a heteroxenic life cycle with four different development stages. In the midgut of triatomine, epimastigotes differentiate into metacyclic trypomastigotes in a process known as metacyclogenesis. This process can be reproduced in vitro by submitting parasites to nutritional stress (NS). Aiming to contribute to the elucidation of mechanisms that trigger metacyclogenesis, we applied super-SILAC (super-stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture) and LC-MS/MS to analyze different points during NS. This analysis resulted in the identification of 4,205 protein groups and 3,643 phosphopeptides with the location of 4,846 phosphorylation sites. Several phosphosites were considered modulated along NS and are present in proteins associated with various functions, such as fatty acid synthesis and the regulation of protein expression, reinforcing the importance of phosphorylation and signaling events to the parasite. These modulated sites may be triggers of metacyclogenesis.

Identification of O-GlcNAcylated proteins in the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi

Project description:Trypanosoma cruzi is the causal agent of Chagas’ disease, which is one of the biggest public health problems in Latin America. Several post-translational modifications (PTM) have been studied in T. cruzi but there is no work focused on the O-GlcNAcylation, which is a highly conserved monosaccharide PTM found on serine and threonine residues of proteins mainly from the nucleus, cytoplasm and mitochondria. It is thought to regulate proteins in a manner analogous to protein phosphorylation, even their crosstalk allows the regulation of cellular functions in response to nutrients and stress. In the present work we demonstrate O-GlcNacylation in T. cruzi epimastigotes using two different methods: western blot with specific antibodies and click chemistry labelling. Then, we identify 2033 O-GlcNAcilated proteins and 48 modification sequences by mass spectrometry. Most of this proteins are part of structures, functions and pathways that are essentials for the parasite survival and evolution. For the first time O-GlcNacylation is idenytified in T. cruzi proteins and due to the many biological processes in which they participate, this study opens a new research field in Trypanosomatids biology, infection processes and potential identification of therapeutic targets.

Fracture hematoma proteomics: surgical invasiveness characterizes the early fracture healing cascade after multiple trauma

Project description:Purpose The aim of this study was to determine the fracture hematoma (fxH) proteome after multiple trauma using label free proteomics, comparing two different established surgical treatment strategies. Basic procedures A large animal (sus scrofa), multiple trauma animal model was used in which two different trauma surgical treatment methods were compared: Early Total Care (ETC) versus Damage Control Orthopedics (DCO). fxH was harvested after 72 hours and analyzed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Protein interaction analyses were performed to further elucidate key biomolecular pathways in the early fracture healing phase. Main findings The proteome of the early fxH was characterized by immunomodulatory and osteogenic proteins, as well as proteins involved in the coagulation cascade. Distinct, treatment-specific proteome alterations were observed. The fxH proteome of the ETC group showed increased expression of pro-inflammatory proteins related to, among others, activation of the complement system, neutrophil functioning, and macrophage activation, while showing decreased expression of proteins related to osteogenesis and tissue remodeling. On the other hand, the fxH proteome of the DCO group contained various upregulated or exclusively detected proteins related to tissue regeneration and remodeling, as well as proteins related to anti-inflammatory and osteogenic processes. Principal conclusions The early fxH proteome of the ETC group was characterized by the expression of immunomodulatory, mainly pro-inflammatory, proteins, whereas the early fxH proteome of the DCO group was more regenerative and osteogenic in nature. These findings match clinical observations, in which enhanced surgical trauma after severe multiple trauma causes dysbalanced inflammation, potentially leading to reduced tissue regenerative capabilities, and gained insights into regulatory mechanisms of fracture healing after severe trauma.

Chromatin-associated RNA degradation contributes to silencing of Polycomb target genes

Project description:Polycomb Repressive Complexes 1 and 2 (PRC1 and PRC2) are histone-modifying and -binding complexes that mediate the formation of facultative heterochromatin and are required for silencing of developmental genes and maintenance of cell fate. Multiple pathways of RNA decay work together to establish and maintain heterochromatin in fission yeast, including a recently identified role for a conserved RNA degradation complex called the rixosome or RIX1 complex. Whether RNA degradation also plays a role in the stability of mammalian heterochromatin remains unknown. Here we show that the rixosome contributes to silencing of many Polycomb targets in human cells. The rixosome associates with human PRC complexes and is enriched at promoters of Polycomb target genes. Importantly, depletion of either the rixosome or Polycomb results in accumulation of paused and elongating RNA polymerase at Polycomb-target genes. We identify point mutations in the RING1B subunit of PRC1 that disrupt the interaction between PRC1 and the rixosome and result in diminished silencing, suggesting that direct recruitment of the rixosome to chromatin is required for silencing. Finally, we show that the RNA kinase activity of the rixosome and the XRN2 exoribonuclease, which degrades RNAs with 5’ mono-phosphate groups generated by the rixosome, are required for silencing. Our findings suggest that rixosome-mediated degradation of nascent RNA is conserved from fission yeast to human, although in human cells the rixosome degrades RNA in facultative rather than constitutive heterochromatin.

Identification of inhibitors for the trans-membrane Trypanosoma cruzi eIF2alpha kinase relevant for parasite proliferation

Project description:We studied the impact of the gene knockout of the TcK2 protein kinase of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease. TcK2 is structurally similar to the human kinase PERK, which phosphorylates the initiation factor eIF2alpha, and in turn, inhibits translation initiation. As TcK2 kinase promotes parasite proliferation within mammalian cell, it is a potential target for treatment of Chagas disease. Proteomics indicates that proliferative forms express genes including trans-sialidases, normally restricted to infective and non-proliferative trypomastigotes. In addition, TcK2 knockout cells lose phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 3 and cyclic AMP responsive-like element, recognized to promote growth, likely explaining both decreased proliferation and augmented differentiation.
