RNA-sequencing of parasites overexpressing conditionally stabilized BFD1 to identify genes regulated by BFD1

Project description:WT (ME49∆KU80), ∆BFD1, or ∆BFD1/DD-BFD1-Ty parasites were treated with the stabilizing ligand Shield-1 (all three) or vehicle alone (WT and ∆BFD1/DD-BFD1-Ty) to identify genes differentially regulated by overexpression of BFD1.

Single-cell RNA-sequencing of wildtype (ME49∆KU80) or mutant (ME49∆KU80∆BFD1) parasites under unstressed or stressed conditions

Project description:To profile cell-cycle progression and the asynchronous process of differentiation, we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-Seq) of T. gondii using Seq-Well (Gierahn et al., 2017). Wild-type or ∆BFD1 parasites were grown under unstressed or stressed conditions (24, 48 or 72 h), mechanically released from host cells, and analyzed.

Effect of BFD2 (TGME49_311100) knockout on T. gondii gene expression during BFD1 induction

Project description:The acute-to-chronic stage transition in Toxoplasma gondii involes a global restructuring of the parasite transcriptome. Prior work identified a single transcription factor (BFD1) that is both necessary and sufficient to establish the chronic-stage program, making it the master regulator of this process. Recently, we found that parasites lacking a CCCH-type zinc finger RNA-binding protein (BFD2) are also unable to produce chronic forms. To understand how BFD2 aids in establishing the BFD1 transcriptional program, we knocked out BFD2 in a BFD1-conditional expression strain, wherein BFD1 is induced by treatment with the small molecule Shield-1.

Effects of BFD1 (TGME49_200385) and BFD2 (TGME49_311100) deletion on gene expression in Toxoplasma gondii during infection in neurons

Project description:Differentiation of proliferative acute stages into semi-quiescent chronic stages is key for Toxoplasma gondii persistence within an infected host. During natural infection, chronic stages are almost exclusively found in neurons, and it is well appreciated that neurons support high rates of spontaneous differentiation in cell culture. Recently, we found that parasites lacking the RNA-binding protein BFD2 are unable to produce chronic forms, consistent with a block in this develomental program. To compare the effects of BFD1 and BFD2 on chronic-stage transcriptional reprogramming in T. gondii, we profiled the transcriptomes of both 'wildtype' and BFD1- and BFD2-knockout parasites during infection of murine primary neurons.

Brain transcriptome of mice infected with T. gondii parasites

Project description:Mice were infected with up to 250,000 tachyzoites of T. gondii VEG strain parasites genetically engineered to be deficient in either the ROCY1 gene (TGVEG_311100) or the BFD1 gene (TGVEG_200385). Mice were infected intraperitoneally and monitored using in vivo bioluminescence imaging. Mice were sacrificed at either 4 weeks or 9 weeks post infection as indicated, and RNA was isolated from their brains and transcript abundance was determined using RNAseq.

A positive feedback loop controls Toxoplasma chronic differentiation

Project description:Successful infection strategies must balance pathogen amplification and persistence. In Toxoplasma gondii, this is accomplished through differentiation into dedicated cyst-forming chronic stages that avoid clearance by the host immune system. The transcription factor BFD1 is both necessary and sufficient for stage conversion; however, its regulation is not understood. We examine five factors transcriptionally activated by BFD1. One of these is a cytosolic RNA-binding protein of the CCCH-type zinc finger family, which we name BFD2. Parasites lacking BFD2 fail to induce BFD1 and are consequently unable to fully differentiate in culture or in mice. BFD2 interacts with the BFD1 transcript under stress and deletion of BFD2 reduces BFD1 protein levels, but not mRNA abundance. The reciprocal effects on BFD2 transcription and BFD1 translation outline a positive feedback loop that enforces commitment to differentiation. BFD2 helps explain how parasites commit to the chronic gene-expression program and elucidates how the balance between proliferation and persistence is achieved over the course of infection.

Effect of depleting BFD1-regulated gene-expression factors (TGME49_253790, TGME49_208020, TGME49_224630, TGME49_306620, TGME49_311100) on the Toxoplasma transcriptome during alkaline stress

Project description:The transcription factor BFD1 is the master regulator of the Toxoplasma chronic-stage differentiation program, which is induced under alkaline stress. Prior work indicated that BFD1 transcriptionally activates five other putative RNA- and DNA-binding proteins during differentiation, suggesting potential secondary roles in shaping the Toxoplasma chronic-stage transcriptome. To describe the distinct genetic cohorts controlled by these factors, we generated individual knockdown strains for each candidate using the auxin inducible degron system (TIR1/AID) and examined the transcriptomic effects of their depletion under alkaline stress.

Transformation of NIH3T3 cells by the forced expression of wild-type YAP or its stabilized form

Project description:YAP is known as a proto-oncogene with which the aberrant expression causes numerous types of cancer. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the acquisition of cancerous traits of normal cells by YAP overexpression, the wild-type YAP or its stabilized form was overexpressed in NIH3T3 cells. We found that the forced expression of either wild-type YAP or its derivative alone was sufficient for transforming NIH3T3 cells and we then analyzed the global expression profiles of the control NIH3T3 cells or those overexpressing wild-type or stabilized YAP.
