顶丝复合体寄生虫通过一种独特的机制入侵细胞,这种机制涉及释放被称为微线虫的分泌囊泡。微丝蛋白(Microroneme Proteins,MICs)包括表达不同粘附域的跨膜蛋白和可溶性蛋白。尽管跨膜蛋白TRAP及其同系物被认为是连接细胞表面受体和寄生虫膜下马达的桥梁,但人们对其他MICs的功能知之甚少。我们已经讨论了弓形虫的两种可溶性粘附素MIC1和MiC3在侵袭和毒力中的作用。MIC1基因的单一缺失降低了成纤维细胞的侵袭力,而MiC3缺失无论是单独还是在mi1KO环境中都没有影响。MIC1或MiC3基因的单独破坏略微降低了小鼠的毒力,而双耗尽寄生虫的毒力严重受损,并对随后的攻击提供了保护。MiC3的几丁质结合样区(CBL)上的两个关键氨基酸的单一取代取消了MiC3与细胞的结合,并产生了减毒表型。我们的发现证实了MiC3的CBL结构域在弓形虫病中起关键作用,并揭示了MICs在毒力中的协同作用,支持了寄生虫在感染过程中进化出多个配体-受体相互作用以确保不同类型细胞的侵袭的观点。
Apicomplexan parasites invade cells by a unique mechanism involving discharge of secretory vesicles called micronemes. Microneme proteins (MICs) include transmembrane and soluble proteins expressing different adhesive domains. Although the transmembrane protein TRAP and its homologues are thought to bridge cell surface receptors and the parasite submembranous motor, little is known about the function of other MICs. We have addressed the role of MIC1 and MIC3, two soluble adhesins of Toxoplasma gondii, in invasion and virulence. Single deletion of the MIC1 gene decreased invasion in fibroblasts, whereas MIC3 deletion had no effect either alone or in the mic1KO context. Individual disruption of MIC1 or MIC3 genes slightly reduced virulence in the mouse, whereas doubly depleted parasites were severely impaired in virulence and conferred protection against subsequent challenge. Single substitution of two critical amino acids in the chitin binding–like (CBL) domain of MIC3 abolished MIC3 binding to cells and generated the attenuated virulence phenotype. Our findings identify the CBL domain of MIC3 as a key player in toxoplasmosis and reveal the synergistic role of MICs in virulence, supporting the idea that parasites have evolved multiple ligand–receptor interactions to ensure invasion of different cells types during the course of infection.
