Project description:Histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) play an essential role in epigenetic gene regulation. The Plasmodium falciparum genome encodes canonical and variant histones and a collection of conserved enzymes for histone PTMs and chromatin remodeling. Herein, we characterized the P. falciparum histone PTMs during the development of gametocytes, the obligatory for parasite transmission, we extracted histones from the early (day 4), middle (day 8), and late (day 12) stages of gametocytes, and analyzed them by advanced mass spectrometry.

Project description:Histone variants are key components of the epigenetic code and evolved to perform specific functions in transcriptional regulation, DNA repair, chromosome segregation and other fundamental processes. H2B.Z is a rare, apicomplexan-specific variant of histone H2B. Here we show that in Plasmodium falciparum H2B.Z localises to euchromatic intergenic regions throughout intraerythrocytic development and together with H2A.Z forms a double-variant nucleosomes subtype. These nucleosomes are enriched in promoters over 3’ intergenic regions and their occupancy generally correlates with the strength of the promoter, but not with its temporal activity. Remarkably, H2B.Z occupancy levels exhibit a clear correlation with the base-composition of the underlying DNA, raising the intriguing possibility that the extreme AT-content of the intergenic regions within the Plasmodium genome might be instructive for histone variant deposition. In summary, our data shows that the H2A.Z/H2B.Z double-variant nucleosome demarcates putative regulatory regions of the P. falciparum epigenome and likely provides a scaffold for dynamic regulation of gene expression in this deadly human pathogen. Genome-wide localization of H2B.Z has been studied at three stages of intraerythrocytic development by Illumina sequencing of chromatin-immunoprecipitated and input DNA.

Project description:We have knocked out a putative N-acetyl transferase, Pf3D7_1437000, from the malaria parasite plasmodium falciparum. Pf3D7_1437000 resides in the ER. Proteins in the Plasmodium falciparum secretory pathway are known to be extensively N-terminally acetylated. We have isolated two such proteins, HRP2 and HRP3, from the WT and KO parasites compared there N terminal acetylation status.

Project description:Epigenetic mechanisms have been poorly understood in Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agent of malaria. To elucidate stage specific epigenetic regulations in P. falciparum, we performed genome-wide mapping of various histone modifications, nucleosomes and RNA Polymerase II. Our comprehensive analysis suggest that transcription initiation and elongation are distinct in Plasmodium. In this study, by analyzing histone modifications, nucleosome occupancy and RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) at three different IEC developmental stages of Plasmodium; ring, trophozoite and schizont, we tried to unravel the epigenetic mechanism associated with gene regulation. Examination of H3K27me3, H3K4me3, H3K9me3, H3K14ac, H3K4me1, H3K79me3, H3K27ac, H3K4me2, H3K9ac, H4ac, RNA Pol II and Histone H3 at three different stages of Plasmodium falciparum

Project description:The variant antigen, Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1), expressed on the surface of P. falciparum infected Red Blood Cells (iRBCs) is a critical virulence factor for malaria. Each parasite encodes 60 antigenically distinct var genes encoding PfEMP1s, but during infection the clonal parasite population expresses only one gene at a time before switching to the expression of a new variant antigen as an immune evasion mechanism to avoid the hostM-bM-^@M-^Ys antibody responses. The mechanism by which 59 of the 60 var genes are silenced remains largely unknown. We used microarrays to detail the global programme changes of gene expression caused by each gene knockout with a particular view towards which gene knockout results in transcriptional upregulation of the entire var gene family. Plasmodium falciparum clones, in each of which one of different histone lysine methylation modification enzyme genes was knocked out, were synchronized in the asexual stage and collected at indicated time points post invasion of erythrocytes for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to identify the key epigenetic enzyme that controls silencing of the whole var gene family.

Project description:During red-blood-cell-stage infection of Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite undergoes repeated rounds of replication, egress, and invasion. Erythrocyte invasion involves specific interactions between host cell receptors and parasite ligands and coordinated expression of genes specific to this step of the life cycle. We show that a parasite-specific bromodomain protein, PfBDP1, binds to chromatin at transcriptional start sites of invasion-related genes and directly controls their expression. Conditional PfBDP1 knockdown causes a dramatic defect in parasite invasion and growth and results in transcriptional downregulation of multiple invasion-related genes at a time point critical for invasion. Conversely, PfBDP1 overexpression enhances expression of these same invasion-related genes. PfBDP1 binds to acetylated histone H3 and a second bromodomain protein, PfBDP2, suggesting a potential mechanism for gene recognition and control. Collectively, these findings show that PfBDP1 critically coordinates expression of invasion genes and indicate that targeting PfBDP1 could be an invaluable tool in malaria eradication.

Project description:During the post-meiotic phase of spermatogenesis, transcription is progressively repressed as the nuclei of haploid spermatids are compacted through a dramatic chromatin reorganization involving hyper-acetylation and replacement of most histones with sperm-specific protamines. Although BRDT has been shown to function in transcription as well as histone removal in post-meiotic spermatids, it is unknown whether other BET family proteins play a role. Immunofluorescence of mouse testes revealed BRD4 in a complete ring around the nuclei of spermatids containing hyper-acetylated histones. The BRD4 ring lies directly adjacent to the acroplaxome, or the cytoskeletal base of the acrosome, and does not form in acrosomal mutant mice. ChIP sequencing in round spermatids revealed enrichment of BRD4 and acetylated histone H3 and H4 at the promoters of active genes. GO Term analysis showed that BRD4 and BRDT bind to distinct subsets of spermatogenesis-specific genes. Association of BRD4 with Cyclin T1 decreases as spermatogenesis progresses despite a persistence of association with acetylated H4. Moreover, acetylated histones are removed from the condensing spermatid nucleus in a wave following the progressing acrosome. These data provide evidence for an interesting mechanism in which BRD4 and perhaps acetylated histones are removed from the spermatid genome via the progressing acrosome as transcription is repressed. Single replicates each of Brd4, H3K9me3, H3K9ac, H4K5ac, H4K8ac, H4K12ac, H4K16ac, H4Kac (pan-acetyl antibody), and input in mouse round spermatid cells; input is used to control for local sonication efficiency bias.

Project description:ChIP-seq experiments were performed for the putative telomere repeat-binding factor (PfTRF) in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum strain 3D7. The gene encoding this factor (PF3D7_1209300) was endogenously tagged with either a GFP- or a 3xHA-tag and these transgenic parasite lines were used in ChIP-sequencing experiments. Sequencing of the ChIP and input libraries showed enrichment of PfTRF at all telomere-repeat containing chromosome ends (reference genome Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 from PlasmoDB version 6.1) as well as in all upsB var promoters.In addition,PfTRF was enriched at seven additional, intra-chromosomal sites and called in the PfTRF-HA ChIP-seq only. Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 parasites were generated with -GFP or -3xHA C-terminal tagged TRF (PF3D7_1209300). Nuclei were isolated from formaldehyde cross-linked schizont-stage transgenic parasites and used to prepare chromatin. Chromatin immunoprecipitations were performed using mouse anti-GFP (Roche Diagnostics, #11814460001) or rat anti-HA 3F10 (Roche Diagnostics, #12158167001). Sequencing libraries were prepared according to a Plasmodium-optimized library preparation procedure including KAPA polymerase-mediated PCR amplification.
