Project description:Pulse chase measurements using thiouracil (DTU) labeling via UPRT and chasing with uracil Data from tachyzoites is labeled "DTU Pulse Chase". Two independent pulse chase experiments were performed in tachyzoites, pulse chase 1 and 2. Duplicate arrays at each timepoint were performed for pulse chase 2 (2 a and b). Data from bradyzoites are labeled "DTU Bradyzoite Pulse Chase". Two independent pulse chase experiments were performed in bradyzoites and a single set of arrays were performed for each experiment. Just one chase timepoint was used in the bradyzoite experiments, the 2 hour chase.

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE2946: Synthesis vs. Abundance, Bradyzoite Development GSE2947: Thiouracil Pulse-chase, Tachyzoites and Bradyzoites mRNA stability data GSE2948: UPRT Transgenic cells, Human Arrays Abstract: Standard microarrays measure mRNA abundance, not mRNA synthesis, and therefore cannot identify the mechanisms that regulate gene expression. We have developed a method to overcome this limitation by using the salvage enzyme uracil phosphoribosyltransferase (UPRT) from the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii. T. gondii UPRT has been well characterized because of its application in monitoring parasite growth: mammals lack this enzyme activity and thus only the parasite incorporates (3)H-uracil into its nucleic acids. In this study we used RNA labeling by UPRT to determine the roles of mRNA synthesis and decay in the control of gene expression during T. gondii asexual development. We also used this approach to specifically label parasite RNA during a mouse infection and to incorporate thio-substituted uridines into the RNA of human cells engineered to express T. gondii UPRT, indicating that engineered UPRT expression will allow cell-specific analysis of gene expression in organisms other than T. gondii.

Project description:RNA-seq transcriptional profile of Toxoplasma gondii strains RH, PLK, CTG as tachyzoites and bradyzoites
| PRJNA257998 | ENA
Project description:Using high through-put RNA sequencing, we assayed the transcriptomes of three different strains of Toxoplasma gondii representing three common genotypes under both in vitro tachyzoite and in vitro bradyzoite-inducing alkaline stress culture conditions. Strikingly, the differences in transcriptional profiles between the strains, RH, PLK, and CTG, is much greater than differences between tachyzoites and alkaline stressed in vitro bradyzoites. With an FDR of 10%, we identify 241 genes differentially expressed between CTG tachyzoites and in vitro bradyzoites, including 5 putative AP2 transcription factors. We also observe close association between cell cycle regulated genes and differentiation. By Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), there are a number of KEGG pathways associated with the in vitro bradyzoite transcriptomes of PLK and CTG, including pyrimidine metabolism and DNA replication. These functions are likely associated with cell-cycle arrest. When comparing mRNA levels between strains, we identify 1,526 genes that are differentially expressed regardless of culture-condition as well as 846 differentially expressed only in bradyzoites and 542 differentially expressed only in tachyzoites between at least two strains. Using GSEA, we identify ribosomal proteins as being expressed at significantly higher levels in the CTG strain than in either the RH or PLK strains. This association holds true regardless of life cycle stage. Type I M-bM-^@M-^S RH, Type II M-bM-^@M-^S PLK, and Type III CTG parasites were each grown in either alkaline, bradyzoite conditions or pH neutral, tachyzoites conditions. 6 conditions, 3 replicates each, 18 total samples

Project description:The purpose of this data set is to determine if bradyzoites impact the host transcripton in a similar manner as tachyzoites. We found that 3853 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) are shared between tachyzoite infected cells and bradyzoite infected cells (41%; 2161 up-reg., 1692 down-reg.) when compared to uninfected host samples, leaving 3356 tachyzoite specific DEGs (1488 up-reg., 1868 down-reg.), and 1951 DEGs specific to bradyzoite infection (1075 up-reg., 876 down-reg). We conclude therefore that bradyzoites manipulate the host cell and that this is unique when compared to tachyzoites.

Project description:The Toxoplasma gondii G1 RESTRICTION checkpoint operates the switch between parasite growth and differentiation. The Cdk-related G1 kinase TgCrk2 forms alternative complexes with atypical cyclins (TgCycP1, TgCycP2 and TgCyc5) in the rapidly dividing developmentally incompetent RH and slower dividing developmentally competent ME49 tachyzoites and bradyzoites. The TgCycP1 expression interferes with bradyzoite differentiation. The TgCycP2 regulates G1 in the developmentally competent ME49 but not in the developmentally incompetent RH tachyzoites. Examination of TgCycP2 and TgCyc5 in alkaline induced and spontaneous bradyzoite differentiation (rat embryonic brain cells) models confirmed TgCycP2 role in bradyzoite replication and revealed that stress induced TgCyc5 is critical for efficient tissue cyst maturation.
