The obligate intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii exploits cells of the immune system to disseminate. Upon infection, parasitized dendritic cells (DCs) and microglia exhibit a hypermigratory phenotype in vitro that has been associated with enhancing parasite dissemination in vivo in mice. One unresolved question is how parasites commandeer parasitized cells to achieve systemic dissemination by a ‘Trojan horse’ mechanism. By chromatography and mass spectrometry analyses, we identified an orthologue of the 14-3-3 protein family, T. gondii 14-3-3 (Tg14-3-3), as mediator of DC hypermotility. We demonstrate that parasite-derived polypeptide fractions enriched for Tg14-3-3 or recombinant Tg14-3-3 are sufficient to induce the hypermotile phenotype when introduced by protein transfection into murine DCs, human DCs or microglia. Further, gene transfer of Tg14-3-3 by lentiviral transduction induced hypermotility in primary human DCs. In parasites expressing Tg14-3-3 in a ligand regulatable fashion, over-expression of Tg14-3-3 was correlated with induction of hypermotility in parasitized DCs. Localization studies in infected DCs identified Tg14-3-3 within the parasitophorous vacuolar space and a rapid recruitment of host cell 14-3-3 to the parasitophorous vacuole membrane. The present work identifies a determinant role for Tg14-3-3 in the induction of the migratory activation of immune cells by T. gondii. Collectively, the findings reveal Tg14-3-3 as a novel target for an intracellular pathogen that acts by hijacking the host cell’s migratory properties to disseminate.
