冈比亚按蚊传播疟原虫寄生虫的能力在个体之间存在很大差异。然而,这种变异的遗传基础仍然未知。我们结合全基因组作图和相互等位基因特异性 RNA 干扰 (rasRNAi) 来鉴定赋予对疟疾寄生虫抗性的基因组位点,并证明编码抗寄生虫硫酯蛋白 1 (TEP1) 的单个基因的多态性解释了寄生虫杀灭变异的很大一部分。 TEP1 等位基因与疟疾抵抗力之间的联系可能为控制疟疾传播提供新工具。 rasRNAi 在按蚊中的成功应用表明,它也可以应用于其他生物体,在这些生物体中,RNA 干扰可以将复杂的表型剖析到个体数量性状等位基因的水平。
The ability of Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes to transmit Plasmodium parasites is highly variable between individuals. However, the genetic basis of this variability has remained unknown. We combined genome-wide mapping and reciprocal allele-specific RNA interference (rasRNAi) to identify the genomic locus that confers resistance to malaria parasites, and demonstrate that polymorphisms in a single gene encoding the antiparasitic thioester-containing protein 1 (TEP1) explain a substantial part of the variability in parasite killing. The link between TEP1 alleles and resistance to malaria may offer new tools for controlling malaria transmission. The successful application of rasRNAi in Anopheles suggests that it could also be applied to other organisms where RNA interference is feasible to dissect complex phenotypes to the level of individual quantitative trait alleles.
