Abstract

causes morbidity, mortality, and disseminates widely via cat sexual stages. Here, we find ornithine aminotransferase (OAT) is conserved across phyla. We solve O/GABA-AT structures with bound inactivators at 1.55 Å and identify an inactivator selective for O/GABA-AT over human OAT and GABA-AT. However, abrogating O/GABA-AT genetically does not diminish replication, virulence, cyst-formation, or eliminate cat's oocyst shedding. Increased sporozoite/merozoite O/GABA-AT expression led to our study of a mutagenized clone with oocyst formation blocked, arresting after forming male and female gametes, with "Rosetta stone"-like mutations in genes expressed in merozoites. Mutations are similar to those in organisms from plants to mammals, causing defects in conception and zygote formation, affecting merozoite capacitation, pH/ionicity/sodium-GABA concentrations, drawing attention to cyclic AMP/PKA, and genes enhancing energy or substrate formation in O/GABA-AT-related-pathways. These candidates potentially influence merozoite's capacity to make gametes that fuse to become zygotes, thereby contaminating environments and causing disease.

摘要

会引发发病和死亡，并通过猫的有性阶段广泛传播。在此，我们发现鸟氨酸转氨酶（OAT）在各门类中具有保守性。我们解析了与结合失活剂结合的O/GABA-AT结构，分辨率为1.55 Å，并鉴定出一种对O/GABA-AT具有选择性的失活剂，其对人OAT和GABA-AT的选择性更高。然而，通过基因敲除O/GABA-AT并不会减少寄生虫的复制、毒力、包囊形成，也无法消除猫的卵囊排出。子孢子/裂殖子O/GABA-AT表达的增加促使我们研究一个卵囊形成受阻的诱变克隆，该克隆在形成雄配子和雌配子后停滞，在裂殖子中表达的基因存在类似“罗塞塔石碑”的突变。这些突变与从植物到哺乳动物的生物体中的突变相似，会导致受精和受精卵形成缺陷，影响裂殖子获能、pH/离子性/钠-γ-氨基丁酸浓度，还会引起对环磷酸腺苷/蛋白激酶A以及在O/GABA-AT相关途径中增强能量或底物形成的基因的关注。这些候选因素可能会影响裂殖子产生融合形成受精卵的配子的能力，从而污染环境并引发疾病。
