Project description:The protozoan parasite Cryptosporidium is a leading cause of diarrhea associated mortality in young children. The parasite’s lifecycle involves a highly coordinated and timely progression from asexual proliferative to sexual stages leading to formation of the transmissible oocyst. Underlying molecular signaling mechanisms orchestrating sexual development are not known. Here, we describe the function of a signaling kinase in Cryptosporidium male gametogenesis. We reveal the expression of Cryptosporidium parvum calcium-dependent protein kinase 5 (CDPK5) during male gamete development, and its important role in egress of mature gametes. Genetic ablation of this kinase results in viable parasites, indicating that this gene is dispensable for parasite survival. Interestingly, cdpk5 deletion significantly decreases parasite virulence and impacts oocyst shedding in immunocompromised mice. Using phosphoproteomics, we identify possible substrates of this kinase. Collectively, these findings illuminate parasite cell biology by revealing an important mechanism controlling male gamete production and identifies a potential target to reduce within-host reinfection as well as block disease transmission.

Project description:Leishmania RNA virus 1 (LRV1) is a double stranded RNA (dsRNA) virus found in some strains of the human protozoan parasite Leishmania, the causative agent of leishmaniasis, a neglected tropical disease. Interestingly, the presence of LRV1 inside Leishmania constitutes an important virulence factor which worsens leishmaniasis outcome in a type I interferon (type I IFN) dependent manner and contributes to treatment failure. Understanding how macrophages respond towards Leishmania alone or in combination with LRV1 as well as the role that type I IFNs may play during infection is fundamental to oversee new therapeutic strategies. In order to dissect the macrophage response towards infection, RNA Sequencing (RNA-Seq) was performed on murine wild-type (WT) bone marrow derived macrophages infected with Leishmania guyanensis (Lgy) devoid or not of LRV1 (LgyLRV1- and LgyLRV1+ respectively) or co-infected with LgyLRV1- and Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) for 8 and 24 hours. Additionally, macrophages were treated with type I IFN (IFNα or IFNβ) after 6 hours of infection.

Project description:Host-virus interaction was analyzed at gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that rabies virus (RABV) infection affects the gene expression in brains of mice and RAB with different virulence induce distinct expression pattern in host. Results provide important information that RABV infection led to alteration of gene expression in brains of mice and FJDRV, a street rabies virus with highly virulence isolated from brain of rabid dog in Fujian provice of China, or ERA, a laboratory-adapted rabies virus with lower virulence induced different expression pattern, including immune-related and cellular signaling-related genes.

Project description:Giardiasis, caused by the protozoan parasite Giardia duodenalis, is an intestinal diarrheal disease affecting almost one billion people worldwide. A small endosymbiotic dsRNA viruses, G. lamblia virus (GLV), genus Giardiavirus, family Totiviridae, might inhabit human and animal isolates of G. duodenalis. Three GLV genomes have been sequenced so far, and only one was intensively studied, moreover a positive correlation between GLV and parasite virulence is yet to be proved. To understand the biological significance of GLV infection in Giardia, the characterization of several GLV strains from naturally infected G. duodenalis isolates is necessary. In the contest of high-throughput sequencing of four GLVs strains, from Giardia isolates of human and animal origin, we report on a new, unclassified viral sequence (designed GdRV-2), unrelated to Giardiavirus, encoding and expressing for a single large protein with a RdRp domain homologous to Totiviridae and Botybirnaviridae. We have analyzed the sequence of the GLV capsid protein (CP) and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) by LC-MS/MS analysis using different enzymatic strategies.

Project description:The pathogen Clostridioides difficile causes toxin-mediated diarrhea and is the leading cause of hospital-acquired infection in the United States. Due to growing antibiotic resistance and recurrent infection, targeting C. difficile metabolism presents a new approach to combat this infection. Genome-scale metabolic network reconstructions (GENREs) have been used to identify therapeutic targets and uncover properties that determine cellular behaviors. Thus, we constructed C. difficile GENREs for a hypervirulent isolate (strain [str.] R20291) and a historic strain (str. 630), validating both with in vitro and in vivo data sets. Growth simulations revealed significant correlations with measured carbon source usage (positive predictive value [PPV] ≥ 92.7%), and single-gene deletion analysis showed >89.0% accuracy. Next, we utilized each GENRE to identify metabolic drivers of both sporulation and biofilm formation. Through contextualization of each model using transcriptomes generated from in vitro and infection conditions, we discovered reliance on the pentose phosphate pathway as well as increased usage of cytidine and N-acetylneuraminate when virulence expression is reduced, which was subsequently supported experimentally. Our results highlight the ability of GENREs to identify novel metabolite signals in higher-order phenotypes like bacterial pathogenesis.

Project description:Domestication of wild animals induces a set of phenotypic characteristics collectively known as the domestication syndrome. However, how this syndrome emerges is still not clear. Recently, the neural crest cell deficit hypothesis proposed that it is generated by a mildly disrupted neural crest cell developmental program, but clear support is lacking due to the difficulties of distinguishing pure domestication effects from preexisting genetic differences between farmed and wild mammals and birds. Here, we use a farmed fish as model to investigate the role of persistent changes in DNA methylation (epimutations) in the process of domestication.We show that early domesticates of sea bass, with no genetic differences with wild counterparts, contain epimutations in tissues with different embryonic origins. About one fifth of epimutations that persist into adulthood are established by the time of gastrulation and affect genes involved in developmental processes that are expressed in embryonic structures, including the neural crest. Some of these genes are differentially expressed in sea bass with lower jaw malformations, a key feature of domestication syndrome. Interestingly, these epimutations significantly overlap with cytosine-to-thymine polymorphisms after 25 years of selective breeding. Furthermore, epimutated genes coincide with genes under positive selection in other domesticates. We argue that the initial stages of domestication include dynamic alterations in DNA methylation of developmental genes that affect the neural crest. Our results suggest a role for epimutations during the beginning of domestication that could be fixed as genetic variants and suggest a conserved molecular process to explain Darwin’s domestication syndrome across vertebrates.
