Project description:To help malaria parasites survive unpredictable host immune responses, it is known that genes for surface proteins express stochastically in Plasmodium falciparum. Here, we demonstrate that gene expression for intracellular metabolic functions may be preordained and insensitive to specific metabolic perturbations. In a tightly-controlled, large microarray study involving over 100 hybridizations to isogenic drug-sensitive and drug-resistant parasites, the lethal antifolate WR99210 failed to over-produce RNA for the biochemically and genetically proven target dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase (DHFR-TS). Beyond the target, this transcriptional obstinacy carried over to the rest of the parasite genome, including genes for target pathways of folate and pyrimidine metabolism. Even 12 hours after commitment to death, the transcriptome remained faithful to evolutionarily entrained paths. A system-wide transcriptional disregard for metabolic perturbations in malaria parasites may contribute to selective vulnerabilities of the parasite to lethal antimetabolites. While large protective metabolic responses were not detected, DNA microarrays helped capture small, but reproducible drug-dependent perturbations within hours of drug exposure. In addition, in Plasmodium cells that had adapted to long-term drug exposure, DNA microarrays revealed new, large genome-wide transcriptional adjustments in the hard-wired transcriptional program itself.

Project description:Here we fully characterize the genomes of 14 Plasmodium falciparum patient isolates taken recently from the Iquitos regions using genome-scanning, a microarray-based technique which delineates the majority of single-base changes, indels and copy number variants distinguishing the coding regions of two clones. We show that the parasite population in the Peruvian Amazon is highly structured with a limited number of genotypes and low recombination frequencies. Despite the essentially clonal nature of some isolates, we see high frequencies of mutations in subtelomeric highly variable genes and internal var genes indicating mutations arising during self-mating or mitotic replication. The data also reveal that 1 or 2 meioses separate different isolates showing that P. falciparum clones isolated from different individuals in defined geographical regions could be useful in linkage analyses or quantitative trait locus studies. Through pair-wise comparisons of different isolates we discovered point mutations in the apicoplast genome that are close to known mutations that confer clindamycin resistance in other species but which were hitherto unknown in malaria parasites. Subsequent drug sensitivity testing revealed over 100-fold increase clindamycin EC50 in strains harboring one of these mutations. This evidence of clindamycin resistant parasites in the Amazon suggests a shift should be made in health policy away from quinine+clindamycin therapy for malaria in pregnant women and infants and that the development of new lincosamide antibiotics for malaria should be reconsidered.
