Project description:Toxoplasma gondii is a parasitic protist that is the agent of toxoplasmosis. It is capable of infecting all mammals, including humans. The infection is mainly asymptomatic in immunocompetent patients, but in case of immunosuppression or for the congenital form of toxoplasmosis it can lead to severe pathologies with a possible fatal outcome. T. gondii contains two organelles of endosymbiotic origin: the mitochondrion and the apicoplast, which is a non-photosynthetic plastid. These organelles contain important biochemical pathways which might be interesting targets for future therapeutic strategies. Iron-sulfur clusters are one of the most ancient and ubiquitous prosthetic groups, and they are required by a variety of proteins involved in important metabolic processes. As for plants, T. gondii has several pathways for biosynthesis of iron-sulfur proteins, located in three different cellular compartments: the cytoplasm, the mitochondrion and the apicoplast. We have investigated the relative contributions of the mitochondrion and the apicoplast to the iron-sulfur proteome of the parasite by generating specific mutants for key proteins of the mitochondrial (TgIscU) and plastidic (TgSufS) pathways, on which we performed a quantitative proteomic analysis.

Project description:Malaria parasites rely on a plastid organelle for survival during the blood stages of infection. However, the entire organelle is dispensable as long as the isoprenoid precursor isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) is supplemented in the culture medium. We engineered parasites to produce isoprenoid precursors from a mevalonate-dependent pathway, creating a parasite line that replicates normally after the loss of the apicoplast organelle. We show that carbon-labeled mevalonate is specifically incorporated into isoprenoid products, opening new avenues for researching this essential class of metabolites in malaria parasites. We also show that essential apicoplast proteins, such as the enzyme target of the drug fosmidomycin, can be deleted in this mevalonate bypass parasite line, providing a method to determine the roles of other important apicoplast-resident proteins. Several antibacterial drugs kill malaria parasites because they target basic processes, such as transcription, in the organelle. We used metabolomic and transcriptomic methods to characterize parasite metabolism after azithromycin treatment triggered loss of the apicoplast. These results provide insight into the effects of apicoplast-disrupting drugs, several of which have been used to treat malaria infections in humans. Overall, the mevalonate bypass system provides a way to probe essential aspects of apicoplast biology and study the effects of drugs that target apicoplast processes.

Project description:Euglena gracilis is regarded as a flexible and adaptable free-living protist of considerable biotechnological interest. We carried out proteomic analysis of the E. gracilis purified chloroplast and mitochondrion. These data provide a new level of insight into functions and unique characteristics of these organelles and reveals the manner, in which these differ from its counterparts in other organisms.

Project description:Tetracyclines are effective but slow-acting antimalarial drugs whose mechanism of action remains uncertain. To characterize the antimalarial mechanism of tetracyclines, we evaluated their stage-specific activities, impacts on parasite transcription, and effects on two predicted organelle targets, the apicoplast and the mitochondrion, in cultured Plasmodium falciparum. Antimalarial effects were much greater after two 48-h life cycles than after one cycle, even if the drugs were removed at the end of the first cycle. Doxycycline-treated parasites appeared morphologically normal until late in the second cycle of treatment but failed to develop into merozoites. Doxycycline specifically impaired the expression of apicoplast genes. Apicoplast morphology initially appeared normal in the presence of doxycycline. However, apicoplasts were abnormal in the progeny of doxycycline-treated parasites, as evidenced by a block in apicoplast genome replication, a lack of processing of an apicoplast-targeted protein, and failure to elongate and segregate during schizogeny. Replication of the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes and mitochondrial morphology appeared normal. Our results demonstrate that tetracyclines specifically block expression of the apicoplast genome, resulting in the distribution of nonfunctional apicoplasts into daughter merozoites. The loss of apicoplast function in the progeny of treated parasites leads to a slow but potent antimalarial effect. We analyzed a series of 12 microarrays covering 55 hours of Plasmodium falciparum treated with doxycycline and 12 microarrays covering the same 55 hours with no doxycycline treatment

Project description:The apicoplast of Plasmodium falciparum parasites is believed to rely on the import of three-carbon phosphate compounds for use in organelle anabolic pathways, in addition to the generation of energy and reducing power within the organelle. We generated a series of genetic deletions in an apicoplast metabolic bypass line to determine which genes involved in apicoplast carbon metabolism are required for blood-stage parasite survival and organelle maintenance. We were able to demonstrate that pyruvate kinase II (PyrKII), the sole predicted source of pyruvate and NTPs within the apicoplast, is essential for organelle maintenance. However, deletions within apicoplast pathways that metabolize pyruvate did not result in organelle disruption, indicating that NTPs generated by PyrKII are the products required for this process. Enzymatic characterization of PyrKII revealed that it was active against all NDPs and dNDPs tested with broad substrate specificity, suggesting that it may be capable of generating any and all NTPs and dNTPs within the organelle. Conditional mislocalization of PyrKII resulted in a decrease in transcript levels within the apicoplast that preceded organelle disruption, suggesting that PyrKII is required for organelle maintenance due to its role in nucleotide triphosphate generation within the apicoplast.

Project description:In the context of artemisinin resistance, the objective of the project was to evaluate the role of apicoplast and mitochondrion pathways during the parasite quiescent state induced by dihydroartemisinin (DHA) treatment. We performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of artemisinin-resistant parasites in two conditions: DHA treatment or DMSO treatment (as control condition) at the ring stage (obtained by D-sorbitol synchronization).

Project description:Giardia lamblia telomeres have been isolated from a library enriched for repaired chromosome ends by (i) screening with a Plasmodium falciparum telomere and (ii) differential hybridization with Bal 31-digested and total G. lamblia DNA. Analysis of three clones isolated by this strategy has identified multiple tandem repeats of the 5-mer TAGGG. An oligonucleotide containing these repeats recognizes Bal 31-sensitive bands in Southern hybridizations and detects all G. lamblia chromosomes in pulsed-field gel electrophoresis separations. An abrupt transition from the G. lamblia rDNA sequence to telomeric repeats has been found in all three clones. In two of the clones the transition occurs at the same site, near the beginning of the large subunit rDNA sequence. In the third clone the transition occurs at a site in the intergenic spacer sequence between the rDNA genes. Hybridization of an rDNA probe to a pulsed-field separation of G. lamblia chromosomes indicates that rDNA genes are present on several chromosomes but vary in location from isolate to isolate. These results suggest that rRNA genes are clustered at telomeric locations in G. lamblia and that these clusters are mobile.
