We functionally characterized the five predicted PRMTs in Leishmania braziliensis by gene knockout and endogenous protein HA tagging using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing. We report that R-methylation profiles vary among Leishmania species and across L. braziliensis lifecycle stages, with the peak PRMT expression occurring in promastigotes. A list of PRMT-interacting proteins was obtained in a single coimmunoprecipitation assay using HA-tagged PRMTs, suggesting a network of putative targets of PRMTs and cooperation between the R-methylation writers. Knockout of each L. braziliensis PRMT led to significant changes in global arginine methylation patterns without affecting cell viability. Deletion of either PRMT1 or PRMT3 disrupted most type I PRMT activity, resulting in a global increase in monomethyl arginine levels. Using anti-MMA antibodies, we performed an IP experiment to identify MMA proteins in the parental line, single PRMT1 knockout, PRMT1/PRMT7 double knockout and PRMT1-Addback parasites.
The results indicate that R-methylation is modulated across lifecycle stages in L. braziliensis and show possible functional overlap and cooperation among the different PRMTs in targeting proteins. Overall, our data suggest important regulatory roles of these proteins throughout the L. braziliensis life cycle, showing that arginine methylation is important for parasite-host cell interactions. |
