Project description:Malaria sporozoites, the form transmitted by mosquitoes, are quiescent while in the insect salivary glands. It is only after the sporozoites are deposited in the hostâs skin, migrate to the liver and infect hepatocytes that the parasites continue the life cycle. We show that the sporozoite latency is an active process that requires phosphorylation of the eukaryotic initiation factor-2α (eIF2α) by a sporozoite-specific kinase. Inactivation of the kinase gene leads to an overall enhancement of protein synthesis including of silenced liver stage proteins, and inhibits transmission of malaria. Specific inhibition of the eIF2α phosphatase by salubrinal has the opposite effect. Thus, to prevent premature transformation into liver stages, Plasmodium sporozoites exploit the same mechanism that regulates stress responses in mammalian cells. 4 samples overall, 2 wt and 2 KO (PbeIK2 knockout) samples

Project description:Malaria parasites transmitted by mosquito bite are remarkably efficient in establishing human infections. The infection process requires ~30 minutes and is highly complex as quiescent sporozoites injected with mosquito saliva must be rapidly activated in the skin, migrate through the body, and infect the liver. This process is poorly understood for Plasmodium vivax due to low infectivity in the in vitro models. To study this skin-to-liver stage of malaria, we developed quantitative bioassays coupled with transcriptomics to evaluate parasite changes linked with mammalian microenvironmental factors. Our in vitro phenotype and RNA-seq analyses revealedkey microenvironmental relationships with distinct biological functions. M ost notable, preservation of sporozoite quiescence by exposure to insect-like factors coupled with strategic activation limits untimely activation of invasion-associated genes to dramatically increase hepatocyte invasion rates. We also report the first transcriptomic analysis of the P. vivax sporozoite interaction in salivary glands identifying 118 infection-related differentially-regulated Anopheles dirus genes. These results provide important new insights in malaria parasite biology and identify priority targets for antimalarial therapeutic interventions to block P. vivax infection.

Project description:Many eukaryotic developmental and cell fate decisions are effected post-transcriptionally that mechanistically involve RNA binding proteins as regulators of translation of key mRNAs. In the unicellular eukaryote malaria parasite, Plasmodium, one of the most dramatic changes in cell morphology and function occurs during transmission between mosquito and human host. In the mosquito salivary glands, Plasmodium sporozoites are slender, motile and remain infectious for several weeks; only after transmission and liver cell invasion, does the parasite rapidly transform into a round, non-motile exo-erythrocytic form (EEF) that gives rise to thousands of infectious merozoites to be released into the blood stream. Here we demonstrate a Plasmodium homolog of the RNA binding protein, Pumilio, as a key regulator of the sporozoite to EEF transformation. In the absence of Pumilio-2 (Puf2) Plasmodium berghei sporozoites initiate early stage EEF development inside mosquito salivary glands with characteristic morphological changes; puf2- salivary gland sporozoites lose gliding motility, cell traversal ability and are less infective. Global expression profiling confirmed that transgenic parasites exhibit genome-wide transcriptional adaptations typical for Plasmodium intra-hepatic development. The data demonstrate that Puf2 is a key player in regulating developmental control, and imply that transformation of salivary gland-resident sporozoites into early liver stage parasites is regulated by a post-translational mechanism.

Project description:MalariaM-bM-^@M-^Ys cycle of infection requires parasite transmission between a mosquito vector and a vertebrate host. Plasmodium regulates transmission by translationally repressing specific mRNAs until their products are needed. We demonstrate that the Plasmodium yoelii Pumilio-FBF family member Puf2 allows the sporozoite to retain its infectivity in the mosquito salivary glands while awaiting transmission. Puf2 mediates this critical feature solely through its RNA-Binding Domain (RBD) likely by protecting and silencing specific mRNAs. Puf2 storage granules are distinct from stress granules and P-bodies and dissolve rapidly after infection of hepatocytes, likely releasing the protected and silenced transcripts for M-bM-^@M-^Xjust-in-timeM-bM-^@M-^Y translation by early exoerythrocytic forms (EEFs). Further corroborating this model, pypuf2- sporozoites have no apparent defect in host infection early after invading the salivary glands, but become progressively noninfectious and subsequently prematurely transform into EEFs during prolonged salivary gland residence. In contrast, the premature overexpression of Puf2 in oocysts causes striking deregulation of sporozoite maturation, resulting in fewer oocyst sporozoites that are non-infectious and unable to colonize the salivary glands. Maintenance of Puf2 expression in liver stage parasites produces no phenotype, suggesting that a window of permissive expression exists. Finally, by conducting the first comparative RNAseq analysis of Plasmodium sporozoites, we have uncovered that Puf2 may play a role in both the protection of specific transcripts as well as RNA turnover via the CCR4/Not complex. These findings uncover requirements for maintaining a window of opportunity for the malaria parasite to accommodate the unpredictable moment of transmission from mosquito to vertebrate host.
