Whether the route taken is a predetermined genetic or epigenetic trait programmed in the mosquito, a factor of the hepatocyte environment or a combination of both is unknown as is almost everything else about P. vivax liver-stage parasites and their relationship with the hepatic host cell. (2011). 5:e1000309. Other than the RhopH complex, all proteins examined are localized to rhoptries in sporozoites as well as in merozoites. (A) A group of rhoptry proteins categorized as rhoptry neck proteins in merozoites. Cell Host Microbe 10, 591–602. Subversion of host cellular functions by the apicomplexan parasites. Some specialized merozoites apparently reinvade liver cells to initiate secondary tissue merogony. Together with three reported proteins, RAP2/3, RON11, and RON12 (Tufet-Bayona et al., 2009; Bantuchai et al., 2019; Oda-Yokouchi et al., 2019), nine rhoptry proteins are demonstrated to be commonly expressed in the infective stages of P. berghei. Sporozoites and merozoites possess organelles that collectively form the apical complex of the parasite. Among six genes encoding rhoptry proteins localized to the bulb region in merozoites, rhoptry-associated protein 1 (rap1), ron3, and rhoptry associated membrane antigen (rama) are also transcribed in sporozoites (Figure 1B); while the other three, encoding the components of the high-molecular mass rhoptry protein complex (RhopH complex; Kaneko et al., 2001, 2005; Ling et al., 2003, 2004; Vincensini et al., 2008; Comeaux et al., 2011; Nguitragool et al., 2011; Counihan et al., 2017; Ito et al., 2017; Sherling et al., 2017), are transcribed far less in sporozoites than in schizonts (Figure 1C). RON2 in sporozoites is required for salivary gland invasion as well as hepatocyte infection (Ishino et al., 2019), which is not the case for RON2 in merozoites involved in erythrocyte invasion, supporting that localization in sporozoite rhoptries might be different from that in merozoites. The 67 kDa antigen of T. parva is localized on the surface of sporozoites. Parasitol. To generate transgenic parasites expressing a rhoptry protein tagged with c-Myc at its C-terminus, the native locus of the targeted rhoptry molecule in the WT-GFP genome was replaced by single crossover homologous recombination with an expression cassette of the C-terminus of the rhoptry protein fused with a c-Myc tag, similar to the generation of RON2-c-Myc expressing parasites (Ishino et al., 2019). These strains exhibited a pattern of a first relapse that would occur 8, 9 or 12 months after being infected with sporozoites. This study demonstrates that most rhoptry proteins, except components of the high-molecular mass rhoptry protein complex, are commonly expressed in merozoites and sporozoites in Plasmodium spp., which suggests that components of the invasion mechanisms are basically conserved between infective forms independently of their target cells. 7, 199–208. Many ookinetes of H. kochi accumulate in the anterior part of the insect’s body, particularly in the region between the dorsal ganglion and the eyes. Differential transcriptome profiling identifies Plasmodium genes encoding pre-erythrocytic stage-specific proteins. Rhoptries are present only in infective stage parasites, such as Plasmodium merozoites and sporozoites which proliferate inside the PVM, and are absent in ookinetes, raising the possibility that rhoptry secretory proteins are involved in cell infection (reviewed in Baum et al., 2008; Frenal et al., 2017). TRAP is necessary for gliding motility and infectivity of Plasmodium sporozoites. The editor of the journal is Dr. Michael V.K. 11:421. doi: 10.1186/1475-2875-11-421, Lebrun, M., Michelin, A., El Hajj, H., Poncet, J., Bradley, P. J., Vial, H., et al. The schizonts of T. parva, T. annulata, T. taurotragi and T. hirci induce the host cells to transform and proliferate. Gametocytes within a mosquito develop into sporozoites. Rev. Exflagellation occurs rapidly and about eight slender microgametes are formed from each microgametocyte in the process. Arjen M. Dondorp, Lorenz Von Seidlein, in Infectious Diseases (Fourth Edition), 2017, The sporozoite form of the parasite is injected into the host when the female Anopheles mosquito is probing for a blood meal. The complex then interacts with apical merozoite protein 1 (AMA1) on the parasite plasma membrane to form a tight junction between the parasite and its target cell, a step which is essential for Plasmodium merozoite and Toxoplasma tachyzoite invasion of target cells (Alexander et al., 2005; Lebrun et al., 2005; Besteiro et al., 2009; Cao et al., 2009). NT, MTo, and TI conceived and designed the experiments. 166, 22–31. doi: 10.1016/j.molbiopara.2009.02.009, Vanderberg, J. P. (1975). All rhoptry proteins examined in this study were confirmed to localize to the apical end region of P. berghei merozoites, similar to the RON2 marker signal, by immunofluorescent assay (IFA) using anti-c-Myc or specific antibodies (Figure 3, left columns). ASP/RON1 was detected using rabbit specific antibodies as it contains a C-terminal GPI-anchor domain and is likely refractory to C-terminal c-Myc integration. Alternatively, the small trophozoites become dormant and may remain in this quiescent metabolic state for weeks, months or up to 2 years in a hepatocyte. stages—gametocytes, sporozoites, and merozoites. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2958.2005.05024.x, Kemp, L. E., Yamamoto, M., and Soldati-Favre, D. (2013). 80, 378–390. Mol. They usually are anteriorly positioned in the parasite and are between the nucleus and conoid. Parasitol. Plasmodium RON12 localizes to the rhoptry body in sporozoites. Independent roles of apical membrane antigen 1 and rhoptry neck proteins during host cell invasion by apicomplexa. doi: 10.1371/journal.ppat.0010017, PubMed Abstract | CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar, Aurrecoechea, C., Brestelli, J., Brunk, B. P., Dommer, J., Fischer, S., Gajria, B., et al. (2012). Microbiol. Articles, Emerging Pathogens Institute, University of Florida, United States, Pennsylvania State University (PSU), United States. It seems that invasion processes imply specific recognition between host cell receptors and sporozoites; however, it has been suggested that additional host cell factors are required for parasite invasion ( 82 ). Immunofluorescence tests have low sensitivity and specificity. Host-cell invasion by malaria parasites: insights from Plasmodium and Toxoplasma. Total RNA was extracted using an RNeasy kit (Qiagen, GmbH, Hilden, Germany) and treated with DNaseI (Qiagen). Most of the emphasis rests with eukaryotic parasites, although vectors for prokaryotic organisms and viruses are also included. Trends Parasitol. Specific antibodies against the middle region of RON3 were also prepared, because it was demonstrated that a 40 kDa fragment of C-terminal RON3 is cleaved during schizont maturation in P. falciparum (Ito et al., 2011). The motile infective stage of sporozoan protozoa that results from schizogony or a similar type of asexual reproduction; responsible for the vast reproductive powers of sporozoan parasites. 21, 1586–1596. Characterisation of the rhoph2 gene of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium yoelii. The c-Myc tag, a peptide of 10 amino acids and ~1,200 Da, is relatively small and unlikely to interfere with protein folding and function following addition to the C-terminus of target proteins that do not possess a C-terminal GPI-anchor domain. These DNA fragments were inserted into the pL0033 plasmid at SacII and NcoI sites, which were linearized at an introduced XbaI site for RON3 and RON4, and at an endogenous BamHI site for RON6 (see Supplementary Figure S1C). In the Plasmodium lifecycle two infectious stages of parasites, merozoites, and sporozoites, efficiently infect mammalian host cells, erythrocytes, and hepatocytes, respectively. (2009). doi: 10.1093/nar/29.9.e45, Poukchanski, A., Fritz, H. M., Tonkin, M. L., Treeck, M., Boulanger, M. J., and Boothroyd, J. C. (2013). The apical structure of merozoites and sporozoites contains rhoptry and microneme secretory organelles, which are conserved with other infective forms of apicomplexan parasites. All datasets generated for this study are included in the manuscript/Supplementary Files. Relative mRNA amounts of selected genes were examined by real-time RT-PCR, normalized by ef1α mRNA expression. Impact Factor 4.123 | CiteScore 5.4More on impact ›, Malaria Transmission Biology
Localisation and timing of expression of putative Plasmodium berghei rhoptry proteins in merozoites and sporozoites. Parasitol. The Supplementary Material for this article can be found online at: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fcimb.2019.00316/full#supplementary-material. This process continues for a genetically programmed number of times, with the final generation of merozoites entering new cells to produce gamonts. 9:316. doi: 10.3389/fcimb.2019.00316. doi: 10.1074/jbc.M110.112359, Pfaffl, M. W. (2001). It is noteworthy that RAMA localizes to the rhoptry membrane in merozoites. Malar J. (2019). The sporozoites are transmitted via the saliva of a feeding mosquito to the human bloodstream. Other merozoites develop into immature gametocytes, which are the precursors of male and female gametes. Membership in ASP includes receipt of the Journal of Parasitology, a quarterly Newsletter, and abstracts for the annual meetings; students can join at a much reduced rate. It has been questioned whether the invasion mechanisms mediated by rhoptry proteins are also involved in sporozoite invasion of two distinct target cells, mosquito salivary glands and mammalian hepatocytes.
