A transcriptional repressor programs gametocytogenesis in human malaria parasites (PfAP2-G5) [ChIP-Seq HM]

Project description:Gametocytogenesis, the process by which malaria parasites produce sexual forms that can infect mosquitoes, is essential for the transmission of malaria. A transcriptional switch of the pfap2-g gene triggers sexual commitment, but how the complex multi-step process is precisely programed remains largely unknown. Here, by systematic functional screening of a panel of ApiAP2 transcription factors, we identify six new apiAP2 members associated with gametocytogenesis in Plasmodium falciparum. Among these, PfAP2-G5 (PF3D7_1139300) was found to be indispensable for gametocytogenesis. This factor suppresses the transcriptional activity of the pfap2-g gene via binding to both the upstream region and exonic gene body, the latter is linked to the maintenance of local heterochromatin structure, thereby preventing initiation of sexual commitment. Removal of this repressive effect through pfap2-g5 knockout disrupts the asexual replication cycle and promotes sexual commitment accompanied by upregulation of pfap2-g expression. However, the gametocytes produced fail to mature fully. Further analyses show that PfAP2-G5 is essential for gametocyte maturation, and causes the down-regulation of pfap2-g and a set of early gametocyte genes activated by PfAP2-G prior to gametocyte development. Collectively, our findings reveal a regulation cascade of gametocyte production in malaria parasites, and provide a new target for transmission blocking interventions.

PfAP2-G target gene promoter mutants expression timecourse

Project description:In the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, the switch from asexual multiplication to sexual differentiation into gametocytes is essential for transmission to mosquitos. One of the key determinants of sexual commitment is the transcription factor PfAP2-G, which has been proposed to orchestrate this crucial cell fate decision by driving expression of gametocyte genes. We show conclusively that PfAP2-G is a transcriptional activator of gametocyte genes and identify the earliest known markers expressed during commitment. Remarkably, we also find that in sexually committed cells, PfAP2-G is associated with the promoters of genes important for red blood cell invasion and activates them through its interactions with a second transcription factor. We thus demonstrate an intriguing transcriptional link between the apparently opposing processes of red blood cell invasion and gametocytogenesis that is coordinated by the master regulator PfAP2-G. This finding has important implications for the development of new anti-malarial drugs that block the invasion of red blood cells by sexually committed cells, thereby preventing parasite transmission.
