Leishmaniaparasite infections, termed the leishmaniases, cause significant global infectious disease burden. The lifecycle of the parasite embodies three main stages that require precise coordination of gene regulation to survive environmental shifts between sandfly and mammalian hosts. Constitutive transcription in kinetoplastid parasites means that gene regulation is overwhelmingly reliant on post-transcriptional mechanisms, yet strikingly fewLeishmania trans-regulators are known. Using optimized crosslinking and deep, quantified mass spectrometry, we present a comprehensive analysis of 1400 mRNA binding proteins (mRBPs) and whole cell proteomes from the three mainLeishmanialifecycle stages. Supporting the validity, although the crosslinked RBPome is magnitudes more enriched, the protein identities of the crosslinked and non-crosslinked RBPomes were nearly identical. Moreover, multiple candidate RBPs were endogenously tagged and found to associate with discrete mRNA target pools in a stage-specific manner. Results indicate that inL. mexicanaparasites, mRNA levels are not a strong predictor of the whole cell expression or RNA binding potential of encoded proteins. Evidence includes a low correlation between transcript and corresponding protein expression and stage-specific variation in protein expressionversusRNA binding potential. Unsurprisingly, RNA binding protein enrichment correlates strongly with relative replication efficiency of the specific lifecycle stage. Our study is the first to quantitatively define and compare the mRBPome of multiple stages in kinetoplastid parasites. It provides novel, in-depth insight into thetrans-regulatory mRNA:Protein (mRNP) complexes that driveLeishmaniaparasite lifecycle progression.
