42ème Réunion du Groupement des Protistologues de Langue Française ANALYSE DE L’EXPRESSION DE GÈNES STADE-SPÉCIFIQUES CHEZ LE PARASITE PROTOZOAIRE LEISHMANIA Barbara Papadopoulou, Ph.D. François McNicoll, Maxime Laverdière, Annie Rochette, Michaela Müller, Serge Cloutier Centre de Recherche en Maladies Infectieuses du Centre Hospitalier de l’Université Laval, CHUQ, Québec, Canada
Goals: -IDENTIFY STAGE-SPECIFIC GENES/PROTEINS AND CIS-ACTING REGULATORY ELEMENTS IN LEISHMANIA -Comparative proteomics -In silico screening -STUDY THE MECHANISMS CONTROLLING STAGE-SPECIFIC REGULATION OF GENE EXPRESSION -STUDY THE MECHANISMS OF TRANSLATIONAL CONTROL IN RESPONSE TO INTRACELLULAR STRESS
The Leishmania genome is predicted to encode ~8,000 ORFs DNA microarray analysis: ~2% of genes are differentially expressed (Akopyants et al., MBP 2001; Saxena et al., MBP 2003) Proteomics data:~ 8% of the proteins are differentially expressed in amastigotes (L. infantum,El-Fakhry et al., 2002, Proteomics;L. mexicana, Nugent et al., MBP 2004; L. donovani, Bente et al., Proteomics 2003) Sequences in the 3'UTRs determine mRNA abundance, stability, and translation rates The molecular mechanisms of stage-specific translational control in Leishmania are still poorly understood STAGE-REGULATED GENE EXPRESSION IN LEISHMANIA
