Protein abundances following 24h of SPARK depletion in Toxoplasma gondii

ABSTRACT: Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous eukaryotic pathogen. Apicomplexan parasites-the family to which T. gondii belongs-possess a divergent ortholog of mammalian PDK1. We have previously shown that this store potentiating/activating regulatory kinase (SPARK) is essential for T. gondii motility, invasion, and egress. Here, we conditionally depleted SPARK in live parasites for 24 hours to determine the impact of SPARK function on the parasite proteome.

SPARKEL depletion time course proteome

Project description:Apicomplexan parasites are ubiquitous pathogens of humans. Toxoplasma gondii, a model apicomplexan, possesses a divergent ortholog of mammalian PDK1. This ortholog, TgSPARK, is essential for the ability of parasites to invade and exit their host. We discovered an interactor of SPARK, an elogin-like protein that we termed SPARKEL. Here, we conduct a quantitative mass spectrometry experiment to measure changes to the parasite proteome following 0, 3, 8, and 24 hours of conditional SPARKEL depletion.

PKA R-dependent phosphoproteome of T. gondii treated with the phosphodiesterase inhibitor zaprinast

Project description:Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous pathogen of warm-blooded animals and belongs to the phylum of apicomplexan parasites. Apicomplexans cause diseases of high mortality, including toxoplasmosis, malaria, and cryptosporidiosis. Cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinases in this divergent family of parasites play crucial roles in pathogenesis and spread. Here, we conduct a phosphoproteomics experiment after T. gondii parasites are depleted of the protein kinase A regulatory subunit (PKA R), resulting in up-regulation of the PKA catalytic subunit 1 (PKA C1).

De novo mapping of the apicomplexan Ca2+-responsive phosphoproteome

Project description:Apicomplexan parasites cause persistent mortality and morbidity worldwide through diseases including malaria, toxoplasmosis, and cryptosporidiosis. Ca2+ signaling pathways have been repurposed in these eukaryotic pathogens to regulate parasite-specific cellular processes governing the transition between the replicative and lytic phases of the infectious cycle. Despite the presence of conserved Ca2+-responsive proteins, little is known about how specific signaling elements interact to impact pathogenesis. We mapped the Ca2+-responsive proteome of the model apicomplexan T. gondii via time-resolved phosphoproteomics. The waves of phosphoregulation following PKG activation and stimulated Ca2+ release corroborate known physiological changes but identify specific molecular targets in these pathways. We characterized protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) as a Ca2+-responsive enzyme that relocalized to the parasite apex upon Ca2+ store release. Conditional depletion of PP1 revealed that the phosphatase regulates Ca2+ uptake to promote parasite motility. PP1 may thus be partly responsible for Ca2+-regulated serine/threonine phosphatase activity in apicomplexan parasites.

PKG-dependent phosphoproteome of T. gondii treated with the phosphodiesterase inhibitor zaprinast

Project description:Apicomplexans are ubiquitous parasites of humans and cause diseases including toxoplasmosis, malaria, and cryptosporidiosis. Protein kinase G (PKG) possesses unique features in this phylum of parasites and is a demonstrated drug target. Phosphodiesterase inhibitors increase the concentration of cGMP in cells, thereby activating PKG. Here, we generate a phosphoproteome from parasites treated with the phosphodiesterase inhibitor zaprinast. We additionally use an auxin-inducible degron system to deplete parasites of PKG during this treatment.

PKA C3 is a protein kinase involved in the differentiation process. Here, we determine the phosphoproteome of parasites conditionally depleted of PKA C3.

Proximity labeling of SPARKEL-TurboID

Project description:Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous parasite of animals. We have previously shown that T. gondii possesses an AGC kinase, SPARK, that is necessary for calcium mobilization, invasion, and egress from host cells. Interaction studies have revealed that SPARK complexes with an elongin-like protein, which we term SPARKEL. Here, we performed proximity labeling of parasites expressing SPARKEL-TurboID endogenously.

Analysis of CDPK1 targets identifies a trafficking adaptor complex that regulates microneme exocytosis in Toxoplasma

Project description:Apicomplexan parasites use Ca2+-regulated exocytosis to secrete essential virulence factors from specialized organelles called micronemes. Ca2+-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) are required for microneme exocytosis; however, the molecular events that regulate trafficking and fusion of micronemes with the plasma membrane remain unresolved. Here, we combine sub-minute resolution phosphoproteomics and bio-orthogonal labeling of kinase substrates in Toxoplasma gondii to identify 163 proteins phosphorylated in a CDPK1-dependent manner. In addition to known regulators of secretion, we identify uncharacterized targets with predicted functions across signaling, gene expression, trafficking, metabolism, and ion homeostasis. One of the CDPK1 targets is a putative HOOK activating adaptor. In other eukaryotes, HOOK homologs form the FHF complex with FTS and FHIP to activate dynein-mediated trafficking of endosomes along microtubules. We show the FHF complex is partially conserved in T. gondii, consisting of HOOK, an FTS homolog, and two parasite-specific proteins (TGGT1_306920 and TGGT1_316650). CDPK1 kinase activity and HOOK are required for the rapid apical trafficking of micronemes as parasites initiate motility. Moreover, parasites lacking HOOK or FTS display impaired microneme protein secretion, leading to a block in the invasion of host cells. Taken together, our work provides a comprehensive catalog of CDPK1 targets and reveals how vesicular trafficking has been tuned to support a parasitic lifestyle.
