We have recently come to appreciate the extent to which the intracellular pathogen Toxoplasma gondii reprograms its host cell, and this is illustrated by the marked upregulation of the central regulator c-Myc, an oncogene that coordinates myriad cellular functions. In an effort to identify an effector protein capable of regulating c-Myc, our laboratory constructed a screen for mutant parasites unable to accomplish this upregulation. Interestingly, this screen identified numerous components of a complex located in/on the parasitophorous vacuole membrane necessary to translocate Toxoplasma proteins out into the host cytosol, but it never identified a specific effector protein. Thus, how the parasite upregulates c-Myc has largely been a mystery. Previously, the Toxoplasma dense granule protein GRA16 has been described to bind to one isoform of PP2A-B, a regulatory subunit that coordinates the activity of the catalytic protein phosphatase PP2A. As other PP2A subunits have been reported to target PP2A protein phosphatase activity to c-Myc, subsequently leading to c-Myc destabilization, we examined whether GRA16 has an impact on host c-Myc accumulation. Expression of Toxoplasma's GRA16 protein in Neospora caninum, a close relative of Toxoplasma that does not naturally upregulate host c-Myc, conferred the ability on Neospora to do this now. Further support was obtained by deleting the GRA16 gene from Toxoplasma and observing a severely diminished ability of Toxoplasma tachyzoites to upregulate host c-Myc. Thus, GRA16 is an effector protein central to Toxoplasma's ability to upregulate host c-Myc.IMPORTANCE The proto-oncogene c-Myc plays a crucial role in the growth and division of many animal cells. Previous studies have identified an active upregulation of c-Myc by Toxoplasma tachyzoites, suggesting the existence of one or more exported "effector" proteins. The identity of such an effector, however, has not previously been known. Here, we show that a previously known secreted protein, GRA16, plays a crucial role in c-Myc upregulation. This finding will enable further dissection of the precise mechanism and role of c-Myc upregulation in Toxoplasma-infected cells."xsd:string |
