Cooperative binding of ApiAP2 transcription factors is crucial for the expression of virulence genes in Toxoplasma gondii. [ChIP-chip]

Project description:Toxoplasma gondii is a unicellular eukaryote belonging to the Apicomplexa phylum. It is an obligate intracellular parasite of critical importance to primarily infected pregnant women and immunosuppressed patient. ApiAP2 are a family of conserved transcription factors (TF) that play an important role in regulating gene expression in apicomplexan parasites. Previous studies had revealed the ability of one of these TFs, TgAP2XI-5, to bind to transcriptionally active promoters of genes expressed during the S/M phase such as rhoptry and micronemes genes. However, expression of TgAP2XI-5 is constitutive during the tachyzoite cell cycle. To better understand how its function is regulated, we identified proteins interacting with TgAP2XI-5 including a cell cycle regulated ApiAP2 TFs, TgAP2X-5. The purpose of the study is to determine the impact of the absence of TgAP2X-5 on the binding of TgAP2XI-5 on its targets. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) of TgAP2XI-5 together with chromatin in absence of TgAP2X-5 profiling by ChIP-on-chip analysis demonstrated that TgAP2X-5 co-acts with TgAP2XI-5 for its binding to DNA of certain promoter targets.

Cooperative binding of ApiAP2 transcription factors is crucial for the expression of virulence genes in Toxoplasma gondii.

Project description:Toxoplasma gondii virulence depends on the expression of factors packed into specific organelles such as rhoptry and microneme. Although virulence factor expression is tightly regulated, the molecular mechanisms controlling their regulation remain poorly understood. ApiAP2 are a family of conserved transcription factors (TFs) that play an important role in regulating gene expression in apicomplexan parasites. TgAP2XI-5 is able to bind to transcriptionally active promoters of genes expressed during the S/M phase of the cell cycle, such as virulence genes (rhoptries and micronemes genes). We identified proteins interacting with TgAP2XI-5 including a cell cycle-regulated ApiAP2 TF, TgAP2X-5. Using an inducible knock-down strategy and RNA-seq, we demonstrated that the level of expression of number of virulence factors transcripts is affected by the disruption of TgAP2X-5 expression. While TgAP2X-5 disruption has mild effect on parasite invasion, it leads to the strain avirulence in mice. To better understand the molecular mechanisms at stake, we investigated the binding of TgAP2XI-5 at promoters in the TgAP2X-5 mutant strain in a genome-wide assay. We show that disruption of TgAP2X-5 expression leads to defects in TgAP2XI-5 binding to multiple rhoptry gene promoters. Taken together, these data suggest a cooperative contribution of two ApiAP2 TF in the regulation of virulence genes in T. gondii.

A single master regulator controls asexual cell cycle division patterns in Toxoplasma gondii [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:ApiAP2 are a family of conserved transcription factors (TF) that play an important role in regulating gene expression in apicomplexan parasites. ApiAP2 proteins that may control the cell cycle dependent expression program are to be discovered. To better understand how these cell-cycle dependent gene expression profiles are established, we identified ApiAP2 proteins showing a cell cycle dependent expression. Using the Auxin-degradation system, we produced several inducible knock-down (iKD) mutant for these ApiAP2 proteins. Among them, a cell-cycle regulated ApiAP2 is expressed during the late S-phase of the tachyzoite cell-cycle. The iKD mutant parasites for this gene are unable to proliferate. In presence of Auxin, the mutant parasites do not produce daughter cells and are arrested in the early phase of budding. This indicates that this TF may specifically regulate the early steps of the daughter cell formation. Using RNA-Seq, we demonstrate that the level of expression of number of transcripts is affected by the knock-down of this potential TF.
