Mapping diversity in African trypanosomes using high resolution spatial proteomics

ABSTRACT: African trypanosomes are dixenous eukaryotic parasites that impose a significant human and veterinary disease burden on sub-Saharan Africa. Diversity between species and life-cycle stages is concomitant with distinct host and tissue tropisms within this group. Here, the spatial proteomes of two African trypanosome species, Trypanosoma brucei and Trypanosoma congolense, have been mapped, each in mammalian and insect life-stages represented by bloodstream form (BSF) and procyclic form (PCF) respectively. Using the hyperLOPIT (hyperplexed localisation of organelle proteins by isotope tagging) methodology, this work has provided four highly comprehensive spatial proteomes.

African trypanosomes are dixenous eukaryotic parasites that impose a significant human and veterinary disease burden on sub-Saharan Africa. Diversity between species and life-cycle stages is concomitant with distinct host and tissue tropisms within this group. Here, the spatial proteomes of two African trypanosome species, Trypanosoma brucei and Trypanosoma congolense, are mapped across two life-stages. The four resulting datasets provide evidence of expression of approximately 5500 proteins per ...[more]

Proteome Turnover in Bloodstream and Procyclic form Trypanosoma brucei Measured by Quantitative Proteomics

Project description:Cellular proteins vary significantly in both abundance and turnover rates. These parameters depend upon their rates of synthesis and degradation and it is useful to have look-up data on protein turnover rates when, for example, designing genetic knock-down experiments or assessing the potential usefulness of covalent enzyme inhibitors. Little is known about the nature and regulation of protein turnover in Trypanosoma brucei, the etiological agent human and animal African trypanosomiasis.

Genome-scale RNA interference profiling of Trypanosoma brucei sensitivity determinants for experimental phthalimide-based trypanocidal drug PHT-39

Project description:In a phenotypic screening approach of novel molecules composed of a synergistic combination of phthalimide, benzimidazole, and triazole scaffolds we discovered compounds with potent anti-leishmanial activity. The resulting early-lead compound PHT-39, which contains a trifluoromethyl substitution, demonstrated the highest efficacy in a Leishmania infantum intramacrophage assay, with an EC50 of 1.2+/- 3.2 μM.Cytotoxicity testing of PHT-39 in Hep-G2 cells indicated high selectivity of over 90-fold. To investigate the mechanism of action we carried out experiments in Trypanosoma brucei, which is also sensitive to PHT-39. Here we used a genome-wide RNAi library approach (PMID: 22278056; PMID: 21363968) to detect sensitivity determinants. This high-throughput phenotyping approach identified sensitivity determinants for PHT-39, which included a P-type ATPase that is crucial for the uptake of miltefosine and amphotericin, strongly indicating a shared route for cellular entry.

Genomic and Proteomic Studies on the Mode of Action of Oxaboroles against the African Trypanosome

Project description:SCYX-7158, an oxaborole, is currently in Phase I clinical trials for the treatment of human African trypanosomiasis. Here we investigate possible modes of action against Trypanosoma brucei using a chemo-proteomic approach. SILAC-based proteomic studies using an oxaborole analogue immobilised onto a resin was used either in competition with a soluble oxaborole or an immobilised inactive control to identify thirteen proteins common to both strategies. The diverse list of binding partners from the proteomic studies suggest a degree of polypharmacology that should reduce the risk of resistance to this compound class emerging in the field.

Exploring the vault interactome in the divergent eukaryote Trypanosoma brucei

Project description:Many, but not all Eukaryotes have protein-enclosed compartments called vaults. Vaults are composed of multiple copies of the major vault protein (MVP), symmetrically assembled into a basket like shell. Whilst there is some evidence that these compartments are engaging in mRNA maturation and intriguing structural information of the vault shell is available, the function of vaults remains largely elusive. Here, we set out to explore the vault interactome in the early branching eukaryote Trypanosoma brucei employing a combination of affinity capture and TurboID proximity labelling.

RIP-Seq analysis of Trypanosoma brucei ELAV-like protein Tb927.8.6650

Project description:A tagged ectopic version of the ELAV-like protein Tb927.8.6650 of T. brucei was expressed in stable cell lines and pulled down. Co-purifying transcripts were analyzed by sequencing to identify RNAs associated with Tb927.8.6650. Stable procyclic form cell lines expressing tetracycline-inducible TAP-tagged Tb927.8.6650 were created. Cells were harvested 48h after tet-induction, followed by tandem affinity purification of Tb927.8.6650, extraction of co-purified RNA, and sequencing.

Global profiling and inhibition of protein lipidation in vector and host stages of the sleeping sickness parasite Trypanosoma brucei via chemical proteomics

Project description:The enzyme N-myristoyltransferase (NMT) catalyses the essential fatty acylation of substrate proteins with myristic acid in eukaryotes and is a validated drug target in the parasite Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness). N-Myristoylation typically mediates membrane localisation of proteins and is essential to the function of many. However, only a handful of proteins are experimentally validated as N-myristoylated in T. brucei. Here, we perform metabolic labelling with an alkyne-tagged myristic acid analogue (“YnMyr”), enabling the capture of lipidated proteins in insect (PCF) and host (BSF) life stages of T. brucei. We further compare this with a longer chain palmitate analogue (“YnPal”) to explore the chain length-specific incorporation of fatty acids into proteins. Finally, we combine the alkynyl-myristate analogue with NMT inhibitors (Cpds 1 and 2) and quantitative chemical proteomics to globally define N-myristoylated proteins in the clinically relevant bloodstream form parasites.

T. brucei whole cell proteome changes upon exposure to the experimental phthalimide-based trypanocidal drug PHT-39

Project description:In a phenotypic screening approach of novel molecules composed of a synergistic combination of phthalimide, benzimidazole, and triazole scaffolds we discovered compounds with potent anti-leishmanial activity. The resulting early-lead compound PHT-39, which contains a trifluoromethyl substitution, demonstrated the highest efficacy in a Leishmania infantum intramacrophage assay, with an EC50 of 1.2 +/- 3.2 μM.Cytotoxicity testing of PHT-39 in Hep-G2 cells indicated high selectivity of over 90-fold. To investigate the mechanism of action we carried out experiments in Trypanosoma brucei, which is also sensitive to PHT-39. Here we used liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MSMS) to quantify the effects of PH-39 exposure on the global protein landscape in T. brucei.

A post-transcriptional respiratome regulon in trypanosomes

Project description:Post-transcriptional regulons coordinate the expression of groups of genes in eukaryotic cells, yet relatively few have been characterised. Parasitic trypanosomatids are particularly good models for studies on such mechanisms because they exhibit almost exclusive polycistronic, and unregulated, transcription. Here, we identify the Trypanosoma brucei ZC3H39/40 RNA-binding proteins as regulators of the respiratome; the mitochondrial electron transport chain (complexes I-IV) and the FoF1-ATP synthase (complex V). A high-throughput RNAi screen initially implicated both ZC3H proteins in variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) gene silencing. This link was confirmed and both proteins were shown to form a cytoplasmic ZC3H39/40 complex. Transcriptome and mRNA-interactome analyses indicated that the impact on VSG silencing was indirect, while the ZC3H39/40 complex specifically bound and stabilised transcripts encoding respiratome-complexes. Quantitative proteomic analyses revealed specific positive control of respiratome protein abundance. Our findings establish a link between the mitochondrial respiratome and VSG gene silencing. They also reveal a major respiratome regulon controlled by the conserved trypanosomatid ZC3H39/40 RNA-binding proteins.

High throughput screening for chemical inducers of stumpy formation in Trypanosoma brucei

Project description:During the bloodstream stage of the Trypanosoma brucei lifecycle, the parasite exists as the proliferative slender-form or the non-proliferative, transmissible, stumpy-form. The transition from the slender to stumpy-form is stimulated by a density-dependent mechanism and is important in infection dynamics, ordered antigenic variation and disease transmissibility. Here, we use a monomorphic reporter cell line in a whole-cell fluorescence-based assay to screen over 6000 small molecules from a kinase-focussed compound library for their ability to induce stumpy-like formation in a high-throughput screening programme. This identified one compound able to induce modest, yet specific, changes in gene expression indicative of a partial differentiation to stumpy forms. This not only provides a potential tool for the further understanding of stumpy formation, but also demonstrates the use of high throughput screening in the identification of compounds able to induce specific phenotypes, such as differentiation, in African trypanosomes.

Mass spectrometry analysis of four translation initiation proteins, EIF4E3, EIF4E4, EIF4G3 and EIF4G4 in Trypanosoma brucei

Project description:Gene expression in pathogenic protozoans of the family Trypanosomatidae has several novel features, for example in protein synthesis there are multiple eIF4F-like complexes. The eukaryotic eIF4F complex, formed by the eIF4E, eIF4G and eIF4A subunits, is responsible for the canonical selection of mRNAs required for the initiation of mRNA translation. The best-known complexes implicated in translation in trypanosomatids are based on two related pairs of eIF4E and eIF4G subunits (EIF4E3/EIF4G4 and EIF4E4/EIF4G3), whose functional distinctions have yet to be properly identified. Here, to define the interactome associated with both complexes in Trypanosoma brucei procyclic forms, we performed parallel immunoprecipitation experiments followed by identification of proteins co-precipitated with the two sets of tagged eIF4E and eIF4G subunits. A number of different protein partners, including RBPs and RNA helicases, were found to specifically co-precipitate with each complex. Highlights with the EIF4E4/EIF4G3 pair include RBP23, PABP1, EIF4AI and the CRK1 kinase. Co-precipitated partners with the EIF4E3/EIF4G4 pair are more diverse and include DRBD2, PABP2 and different zinc-finger proteins and RNA helicases.EIF4E3/EIF4G4 are known to be essential for viability and to better define their role.
