Plasmodium rootlet SFA1 coordinates cell replication, apical polarity and cytoskeletal organisation during sexual development

Rootlet fibres are evolutionarily conserved cytoskeletal structures involved in basal body positioning and cytoskeletal organisation in diverse eukaryotes. Plasmodium spps, undergo complex developmental transitions that require precise coordination of cell polarity, cytoskeletal remodelling and nuclear division. In Plasmodium striated fibre assemblin1 (SFA1) and SFA2 have been implicated in linking the centriolar plaque to nascent apical poles during schizogony and sporogony. However, their role in sexual development is unclear. Here we show SFA1 is absent from the male basal body but is present in female gametocytes, where it marks the polarity initiation site during zygote-to-ookinete differentiation. We also identify associations between SFA1, SFA2 and pellicle-associated proteins. Loss of sfa1 disrupts apical polarity, pellicle organisation and subpellicular microtubules, producing abnormal immotile ookinetes and affecting further sporozoite development, leading to complete loss of parasite transmission. Together, these findings support an important role for SFA1 in organising the cytoskeletal architecture required for malaria transmission.

Ultrastructural dynamics of basal bodies during microgamete formation and fertilisation in Plasmodium

Cilia and flagella are microtubule-based organelles found in a wide range of eukaryotic organisms that form cilia and flagella are assembled from basal bodies. In the malaria parasite, eight flagellated microgametes are assembled from 8 basal bodies that form de novo as a single group (not next to a parent basal body) in the cytoplasm of microgametocytes extremely rapidly, in as little 8 minutes but is not synchronised. The flagellated microgametes exit from a microgametocyte, each consisting of an axoneme and a haploid nucleus. Fertilisation occurs via a HAP2-mediated fusion with the macrogamete. Despite the essential role of microgametes in malaria transmission and being the only flagellated stage, little is known about the process of basal body formation, biogenesis at the ultrastructure level and their role in fertilisation. We used dual axis serial section electron tomography (ssET) to reveal the unusual single microtubule structure of the basal body and discovered an associated electron dense basal body granule. Using whole cell reconstructions of microgametocytes, free microgametes and macrogametes by serial block face scanning electron microscopy (SBF-SEM), we discovered a deuterosome-like structure only present during the initial formation of 8 basal bodies that could be a nucleating platform for de novo basal body formation. Finally, we reveal that entry of the microgamete into the macrogamete occurs via directed event at a single point of entry with the basal body and granule leading entry. These discoveries highlight the essential functions of basal bodies from initial microgamete assembly to male-female gamete fertilisation.

Malaria parasites coordinate host cell remodeling through the AP2-HCR DNA-binding protein

Parasite-induced host cell remodeling is essential for Plasmodium falciparum survival during the intraerythrocytic developmental cycle (IDC), yet the transcriptional mechanisms coordinating this process remain poorly understood. Here, we characterize an essential ApiAP2 transcription factor, PfAP2-HCR (host cell remodeling), during both the asexual and sexual blood stages of P. falciparum. Conditional truncation of pfap2-hcr demonstrated that PfAP2-HCR is essential for ring stage development and parasite maturation. Loss of PfAP2-HCR disrupted the expression of host cell remodeling genes, resulting in the absence of Maurers clefts and collapse of the parasite protein export machinery. Integrated RNA-seq and ChIP-seq analyses revealed that PfAP2-HCR directly or indirectly regulates approximately 30% of exported proteins, including 27 essential exported factors, the parasitophorous vacuole membrane (PVM) resident protein EXP1, and the core PTEX component EXP2. We further show that PfAP2-HCR is also indispensable for gametocytogenesis, as conditional truncation results in either complete ablation or the formation of severely deformed gametocytes. Together, these findings establish PfAP2-HCR as a central transcriptional regulator that orchestrates the expression of host cell remodeling factors required to transform a terminally differentiated erythrocyte into a permissive environment for parasite survival, development, and transmission.

A divergent Plasmodium NEK4 acts as a key regulator driving the early events of meiosis

Meiosis is a conserved yet evolutionarily varied process underpinning sexual reproduction in eukaryotes. In the malaria parasite Plasmodium, meiosis is unconventional: it occurs immediately after fertilisation (post-zygotic) and must be coordinated with the transformation of the zygote into a motile ookinete. The mechanisms synchronising these meiotic and morphogenetic programmes remain unknown. Here, we identify the Plasmodium berghei NIMA-related kinase NEK4 as a key regulator that couples meiotic initiation with zygote morphogenesis. Using ultrastructure expansion microscopy, we show that NEK4 accumulates at the microtubule-organising centre (MTOC) and the apical polar complex (APC) shortly after fertilisation, preceding the assembly of perinuclear and cortical microtubules. We reveal that Plasmodium zygotes undergo MTOC-associated nuclear migration, analogous to the meiotic nuclear movement in fission yeast. Deletion of the Pbnek4 gene results in complete developmental arrest: MTOC duplication and microtubule formation are blocked, chromatin remains uncondensed, and nuclear migration and cell polarity fail to establish. Transcriptomic and phosphoproteomic analyses reveal that absence of NEK4 causes a collapse in transcriptional and phosphoregulatory networks governing meiosis and cytoskeletal organisation, leading to reduced expression and phosphorylation of important players, including HOP1, REC8, and AP2-O. These findings establish NEK4 as a key regulator driving meiotic entry and zygote maturation.

Plasmodium ARK1 regulates spindle formation during atypical mitosis and forms a divergent chromosomal passenger complex

Mitosis in Plasmodium spp., the causative agent of malaria, is fundamentally different from model eukaryotes, proceeding via a bipartite microtubule organising centre (MTOC) and lacking canonical regulators such as Polo kinases. During schizogony, asynchronous nuclear replication produces a multinucleate schizont, while rapid male gametogony generates an octaploid nucleus before gamete formation. Here, we identify Aurora-related kinase 1 (ARK1) as a key component of inner MTOC and spindle formation, controlling kinetochore dynamics and driving mitotic progression. Conditional ARK1 depletion disrupts spindle biogenesis, kinetochore segregation, karyokinesis and cytokinesis in both stages, and affects parasite transmission. Interactome analysis shows that ARK1 forms the catalytic core of a non-canonical chromosomal passenger complex (CPC) containing two highly divergent inner centromere proteins (INCENPs), which we term INCENP-A and INCENP-B, and lacking the canonical chromatin-targeting subunits Survivin and Borealin. Comparative genomics suggests that apicomplexan INCENPs arose through recurrent lineage-specific duplications, reflecting an evolutionary rewiring of CPC architecture in this eukaryotic lineage. Together, these findings reveal key adaptations in Plasmodium mitosis involving ARK1 and its INCENP scaffolds, and identify the ARK1-INCENP interface as a potential multistage target for antimalarial intervention.

Non canonical Sun1-Allan complex orchestrates nuclear envelope remodelling and Basal Body/MTOC Segregation during rapid mitosis in Plasmodium

Mitosis in eukaryotes involves reorganization of the nuclear envelope (NE) and microtubule-organizing centres (MTOCs). During male gametogenesis in Plasmodium, the causative agent of malaria, mitosis is exceptionally rapid and highly divergent. Within 8 min, the haploid male gametocyte genome undergoes three replication cycles (1N to 8N), while maintaining an intact NE. Axonemes assemble in the cytoplasm and connect to a bipartite MTOC-containing nuclear pole (NP) and cytoplasmic basal body, producing eight flagellated gametes. The mechanisms coordinating NE remodelling, MTOC dynamics, and flagellum assembly remain poorly understood. We identify the SUN1-ALLAN complex as a novel mediator of NE remodelling and bipartite MTOC coordination during Plasmodium male gametogenesis. SUN1, a conserved NE protein, localizes to dynamic loops and focal points at the nucleoplasmic face of the spindle poles. ALLAN, a divergent allantoicase, has a location like that of SUN1, and these proteins form a unique complex, detected by live-cell imaging, ultrastructural expansion microscopy, and interactomics. Deletion of either SUN1 or ALLAN genes disrupts nuclear MTOC organization, leading to basal body mis-segregation, defective spindle assembly, and impaired spindle microtubule-kinetochore attachment, but axoneme formation remains intact. Ultrastructural analysis revealed nuclear and cytoplasmic MTOC miscoordination, producing aberrant flagellated gametes lacking nuclear material. These defects block development in the mosquito and parasite transmission, highlighting the essential functions of this complex.

PfAP2-MRP DNA-binding protein is a master regulator of parasite pathogenesis during malaria parasite blood stages

Malaria pathogenicity results from the parasites ability to invade, multiply within and then egress from the host red blood cell (RBC). Infected RBCs are remodeled, expressing antigenic variant proteins (such as PfEMP1, coded by the var gene family) for immune evasion and survival. These processes require the concerted actions of many proteins, but the molecular regulation is poorly understood. We have characterized an essential Plasmodium specific Apicomplexan AP2 (ApiAP2) transcription factor in Plasmodium falciparum (PfAP2-MRP; Master Regulator of Pathogenesis) during the intraerythrocytic developmental cycle (IDC). An inducible gene knockout approach showed that PfAP2-MRP is essential for development during the trophozoite stage, and critical for var gene regulation, merozoite development and parasite egress. ChIP-seq experiments performed at 16 hour post invasion (h.p.i.) and 40 h.p.i. matching the two peaks of PfAP2-MRP expression, demonstrate binding of PfAP2-MRP to the promoters of genes controlling trophozoite development and host cell remodeling at 16 h.p.i. and antigenic variation and pathogenicity at 40 h.p.i. Using single-cell RNA-seq and fluorescence-activated cell sorting, we show de-repression of most var genes in{Delta} pfap2-mrp parasites that express multiple PfEMP1 proteins on the surface of infected RBCs. In addition, the{Delta} pfap2-mrp parasites overexpress several early gametocyte marker genes at both 16 and 40 h.p.i., indicating a regulatory role in the sexual stage conversion. Using the Chromosomes Conformation Capture experiment (Hi-C), we demonstrate that deletion of PfAP2-MRP results in significant reduction of both intra-chromosomal and inter-chromosomal interactions in heterochromatin clusters. We conclude that PfAP2-MRP is a vital upstream transcriptional regulator controlling essential processes in two distinct developmental stages during the IDC that include parasite growth, chromatin structure and var gene expression.

LARP1 regulates metabolism and mTORC1 activity in cancer

The protein mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a master regulator of cell homeostasis. Although mTOR is aberrantly overactivated in 70% ovarian cancers, mTOR cascade inhibitors (such as those blocking the kinase activity of mTOR itself or upstream kinases PI3K/AKT) have demonstrated disappointing activity in ovarian cancer clinical trials. These findings indicate that, despite its pivotal role in normal cells, hyperactivated mTOR does not act as a master regulator of metabolism in this cancer context. Surprisingly, we have identified that the RNA binding protein LARP1, a known phospho-target of mTORC1 and activator of ribosomal biogenesis, is responsible for metabolic reprogramming in mTOR-dysregulated cancers. LARP1 post-transcriptionally regulates the expression of several hundred rate-limiting enzymes involved in multiple aspects of metabolism, including glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation. Through this mechanism LARP1 sustains ATP production and mTORC1 localisation on the lysosome, thereby activating cell proliferation despite the scarcity of extracellular nutrients. Our findings show that, by sustaining global cellular metabolism in response to growth factor signalling, LARP1 has a central post-transcriptional role in controlling mTORC1 localisation and driving cancer progression, a key cancer hallmark.

Cellular electron tomography of the apical complex in the apicomplexan parasite Eimeria tenella shows a highly organised gateway for regulated secretion.

The apical complex of apicomplexan parasites is essential for host cell invasion and intracellular survival and as the site of regulated exocytosis from specialised secretory organelles called rhoptries and micronemes. Despite its importance, there is little data on the three-dimensional organisation and quantification of these organelles within the apical complex or how they are trafficked to this specialised region of plasma membrane for exocytosis. In coccidian apicomplexans there is an additional tubulin-containing hollow barrel structure, the conoid, which provides a structural gateway for this specialised secretion. Using a combination of cellular electron tomography and serial block face-scanning electron microscopy (SBF-SEM) we have reconstructed the entire apical end of Eimeria tenella sporozoites. We discovered that conoid fibre number varied, but there was a fixed spacing between fibres, leading to conoids of different sizes. Associated apical structures varied in size to accommodate a larger or smaller conoid diameter. However, the number of subpellicular microtubules on the apical polar ring surrounding the conoid did not vary, suggesting a control of apical complex size. We quantified the number and location of rhoptries and micronemes within cells and show a highly organised gateway for trafficking and docking of rhoptries, micronemes and vesicles within the conoid around a set of intra-conoidal microtubules. Finally, we provide ultrastructural evidence for fusion of rhoptries directly through the parasite plasma membrane early in infection and the presence of a pore in the parasitophorous vacuole membrane, providing a structural explanation for how rhoptry proteins (ROPs) may be trafficked between the parasite and the host cytoplasm. SignificanceApicomplexan parasites cause a wide range of human and animal diseases. The apical complex is essential for motility, host cell invasion and intracellular survival within a specialised vacuole called the parasitophorous vacuole. We know that molecules important for all of these processes are secreted from the apical complex via a set of secretory organelles and there is even evidence that some parasite molecules can enter the host cell from the parasitohorous vacuole, but there is little understanding of exactly how this occurs. Here we have used three dimensional electron microscopy to reconstruct the entire apical end of the parasite and whole individual parasites. Our results provide important insights into the structural organisation and mechanisms for delivery of parasite molecules via this important area of the cell.

Location and function of all Plasmodium kinesins: key roles in parasite proliferation, polarity, and transmission

Kinesins are microtubule-based motors important in cell division, motility, polarity, and intracellular transport in many eukaryotes. However, they are poorly studied in the divergent eukaryotic pathogens- Plasmodium spp., the causative agents of malaria, which manifest atypical aspects of cell division and plasticity of morphology throughout the lifecycle in both mammalian and mosquito hosts. Here we describe a genome-wide screen of Plasmodium kinesins, revealing diverse subcellular locations and functions in spindle assembly, axoneme formation and cell morphology. Surprisingly, only kinesin-13 is essential for growth in the mammalian host while the other eight kinesins are required during the proliferative and invasive stages of parasite transmission through the mosquito vector. In-depth analyses of kinesin-13 and kinesin-20 revealed functions in microtubule dynamics during apical cell polarity formation, spindle assembly, and axoneme biogenesis. These findings help us to understand the importance of microtubule motors and may be exploited to discover new therapeutic interventions against malaria.

Protein Phosphatase 1 regulates atypical chromosome segregation and cell polarity during mitotic and meiotic division in Plasmodium sexual stages

PP1 is a conserved eukaryotic serine/threonine phosphatase that regulates many aspects of mitosis and meiosis, often working in concert with other phosphatases, such as CDC14 and CDC25. The proliferative stages of the malaria parasite life cycle include sexual development within the mosquito vector, with male gamete formation characterized by an atypical rapid mitosis, consisting of three rounds of DNA synthesis, successive spindle formation with clustered kinetochores, and a meiotic stage during zygote to ookinete development following fertilization. It is unclear how PP1 is involved in these unusual processes. Using real-time live-cell and ultrastructural imaging, conditional gene knockdown, RNA-seq and proteomic approaches, we show that Plasmodium PP1 is implicated in both mitotic exit and, potentially, establishing cell polarity during zygote development in the mosquito midgut, suggesting that small molecule inhibitors of PP1 should be explored for blocking parasite transmission.

Real-time dynamics of Plasmodium NDC80 as a marker for the kinetochore during atypical mitosis and meiosis

Eukaryotic cell proliferation requires chromosome replication and precise segregation to ensure daughter cells have identical genomic copies. The genus Plasmodium, the causative agent of malaria, displays remarkable aspects of nuclear division throughout its lifecycle to meet some peculiar and unique challenges of DNA replication and chromosome segregation. The parasite undergoes atypical endomitosis and endoreduplication with an intact nuclear membrane and intranuclear mitotic spindle. To understand these diverse modes of Plasmodium cell division, we have studied the behaviour and composition of the outer kinetochore NDC80 complex, a key part of the mitotic apparatus that attaches the centromere of chromosomes to microtubules of the mitotic spindle. Using NDC80-GFP live-cell imaging in Plasmodium berghei we observe dynamic spatiotemporal changes during proliferation, including highly unusual kinetochore arrangements during sexual stages. We identify a very divergent candidate for the SPC24 subunit of the NDC80 complex, previously thought to be missing in Plasmodium, which completes a canonical, albeit unusual, NDC80 complex structure. Altogether, our studies reveal the kinetochore as an ideal tool to investigate the non-canonical modes of chromosome segregation and cell division in Plasmodium. Summary StatementThe dynamic localization of kinetochore marker NDC80 protein complex during proliferative stages of the malaria parasite life cycle reveals unique modes of chromosome segregation.

Kinesin-8B controls basal body function and flagellum formation and is key to malaria parasite transmission

Eukaryotic flagella are conserved microtubule-based organelles that drive cell motility. Plasmodium, the causative agent of malaria, has a single flagellate stage: the male gamete in the mosquito. Three rounds of endomitotic division together with an unusual mode of flagellum assembly rapidly produce eight motile gametes. These processes are tightly coordinated but their regulation is poorly understood. To understand this important developmental stage, we studied the function and location of the microtubule-based motor kinesin-8B, using gene-targeting, electron microscopy and live cell imaging. Deletion of the kinesin-8B gene showed no effect on mitosis but disrupted 9+2 axoneme assembly and flagellum formation during male gamete development and also completely ablated parasite transmission. Live cell imaging showed that kinesin-8B-GFP did not colocalise with kinetochores in the nucleus but instead revealed dynamic, cytoplasmic localisation with the basal bodies and the assembling axoneme during flagellum formation. We thus uncovered an unexpected role for kinesin-8B in parasite flagellum formation that is vital for the parasite life cycle.

Plasmodium Kinesin-8X associates with mitotic spindles and is essential for oocyst development during parasite proliferation and transmission

Kinesin-8 proteins are microtubule motors that are often involved in regulation of mitotic spindle length and chromosome alignment. They move towards the ends of spindle microtubules and regulate the dynamics of these ends due, at least in some species, to their microtubule depolymerization activity. Plasmodium spp. exhibit an atypical endomitotic cell division in which chromosome condensation and spindle dynamics are not well understood in the different proliferative stages. Genome-wide homology analysis of Plasmodium spp. revealed the presence of two Kinesin-8 motor proteins (Kinesin-8X and Kinesin-8B). Here we have studied the biochemical properties of Kinesin-8X and its role in parasite proliferation. In vitro, Kinesin-8X showed motile and depolymerization activities like other Kinesin-8 motors. To understand its role in cell division, we have used protein tagging and live cell imaging to define the location of Plasmodium Kinesin-8X during all proliferative stages of the P berghei life cycle. Furthermore, we have used gene targeting to analyse the function of Kinesin-8X. The results reveal a spatio-temporal involvement of Kinesin-8X in spindle dynamics and its association with both mitotic and meiotic spindles and the putative microtubule organising centre (MTOC). Deletion of the Kinesin-8X gene showed that this protein is required for endomitotic division during oocyst development and is therefore necessary for parasite replication within the mosquito gut, and for transmission to the vertebrate host. Consistently, transcriptome analysis of{Delta} kinesin-8X parasites reveals modulated expression of genes involved mainly in microtubule-based processes, chromosome organisation and the regulation of gene expression supporting a role in cell division.\n\nAuthor SummaryKinesins are microtubule-based motors that play key roles in intracellular transport, cell division and motility. Members of the Kinesin-8 family contribute to chromosome alignment during cell division in many eukaryotes. However, the roles of kinesins in the atypical cell division in Plasmodium, the causative agent of malaria, is not known. In contrast to many other eukaryotes, Plasmodium proliferates by endomitosis, in which genome replication and division occur within a nucleus bounded by a persistent nuclear envelope. We show that the Plasmodium genome encodes only nine kinesins and we further investigate the role of Kinesin-8X throughout the Plasmodium life cycle using biochemical and gene targeting approaches. We show that Plasmodium Kinesin-8X has microtubule-based motility and depolymerization activity. We also show that Kinesin-8X is probably localized on putative MTOCs and spindles during cell division in most of the stages of P. berghei life cycle. By gene deletion we demonstrate that Kinesin-8X is essential for normal oocyst development and sporozoite formation. Genome-wide RNA analysis of{Delta} kinesin-8X parasites reveals modulated expression of genes involved in microtubule-based processes. Overall, the data suggest that Kinesin-8X is a molecular motor that plays essential roles during endomitosis in oocyst development in the mosquito, contributing to parasite transmission.

Vital role for Plasmodium berghei Kinesin8B in axoneme assembly during male gamete formation and mosquito transmission

SummarySexual development is an essential phase in the Plasmodium life cycle, where male gametogenesis is an unusual and extraordinarily rapid process. It produces 8 haploid motile microgametes, from a microgametocyte within 15 minutes. Its unique achievement lies in linking the assembly of 8 axonemes in the cytoplasm to the three rounds of intranuclear genome replication, forming motile microgametes, which are expelled in a process called exflagellation. Surprisingly little is known about the actors involved in these processes. We are interested in kinesins, molecular motors that could play potential roles in male gametogenesis. We have undertaken a functional characterization in Plasmodium berghei of kinesin-8B (PbKIN8B) expressed specifically in male gametocytes and gametes. By generating Pbkin8B-gfp parasites, we show that PbKIN8B is specifically expressed during male gametogenesis and is associated with the axoneme. We created a{Delta} Pbkin8B knockout cell line and analysed the consequences of the absence of PbKIN8B on male gametogenesis. We show that the ability to produce sexually differentiated gametocytes is not affected in{Delta} Pbkin8B parasites and that the 3 rounds of genome replication occur normally. Nevertheless, the development to free motile microgametes is halted and the life cycle is interrupted in vivo. Ultrastructural analysis revealed that intranuclear mitoses is unaffected whereas cytoplasmic microtubules, although assembled in doublets and elongated, fail to assemble in the normal axonemal \"9+2\" structure and become motile. Absence of a functional axoneme prevented microgamete assembly and release from the microgametocyte, severely reducing infection of the mosquito vector. This is the first functional study of a kinesin involved in male gametogenesis. These results reveal a previously unknown role for PbKIN8B in male gametogenesis, providing new insights into Plasmodium flagellar formation.

A member of the ferlin calcium sensor family is essential for Toxoplasma gondii rhoptry secretion

Invasion of host cells by apicomplexan parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii is critical for their infectivity and pathogenesis. In Toxoplasma, secretion of essential egress, motility and invasion-related proteins from microneme organelles is regulated by oscillations of intracellular Ca2+. Later stages of invasion are considered Ca2+-independent, including the secretion of proteins required for host cell entry and remodeling from the parasites rhoptries. We identified a family of three Toxoplasma proteins with homology to the ferlin family of double C2 domain-containing Ca2+ sensors. In humans and model organisms such Ca2+ sensors orchestrate Ca2+-dependent exocytic membrane fusion with the plasma membrane. One ferlin that is conserved across the Apicomplexa, TgFER2, localizes to the parasites cortical membrane skeleton, apical end, and rhoptries. Unexpectedly, conditionally TgFER2-depleted parasites secreted their micronemes normally and were completely motile. However, these parasites were unable to invade host cells and were therefore not viable. Specifically, knockdown of TgFER2 prevented rhoptry secretion and these parasites failed to form the moving junction on the parasite-host interface necessary for host cell invasion. Collectively, these data demonstrate that the putative Ca2+ sensor TgFER2 is required for the secretion of rhoptries. These findings provide the first regulatory and mechanistic insights into this critical yet poorly understood aspect of apicomplexan host cell invasion.\n\nGraphical abstract\n\nO_FIG O_LINKSMALLFIG WIDTH=199 HEIGHT=200 SRC=\"FIGDIR/small/304048_ufig1.gif\" ALT=\"Figure 1\">\nView larger version (58K):\norg.highwire.dtl.DTLVardef@505202org.highwire.dtl.DTLVardef@138400aorg.highwire.dtl.DTLVardef@1f468beorg.highwire.dtl.DTLVardef@1089d34_HPS_FORMAT_FIGEXP M_FIG C_FIG
