摘要： Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is an obligate intracellular parasite with a wide range of hosts, including humans and many warm-blooded animals. The parasite exists in two interconvertible forms, namely tachyzoites and bradyzoites in intermediate hosts that are responsible for acute and chronic infections respectively. Mature bradyzoites accumulate large amounts of amylopectin granules but their roles have not been fully characterized. In this study, the predicted key enzymes involved in amylopectin synthesis (UDP-sugar pyrophospharylase, USP) and degradation (alpha-glucan water dikinase, GWD) of ME49 strain were individually knocked out, and then bradyzoite-related phenotyping experiments in vitro and in vivo were performed to dissect their roles during parasite growth and development. Deletion of the usp or gwd gene in the type II strain ME49 reduced the replication rates of tachyzoites in vitro and parasite virulence in vivo, suggesting that amylopectin metabolism is important for optimal tachyzoite growth. Interestingly, the Δusp mutant grew slightly faster than the parental strain under stress conditions that induced bradyzoite transition, which was likely due to the decreased efficiency of bradyzoite formation of the Δusp mutant. Although the Δgwd mutant could convert to bradyzoite robustly in vitro, it was significantly impaired in establishing chronic infection in vivo. Both the Δusp and Δgwd mutants showed a dramatic reduction in the reactivation of chronic infection in an in vitro model. Together, these results suggest that USP and GWD, which are involved in amylopectin synthesis and degradation have important roles in tachyzoite growth, as well as in the formation and reactivation of bradyzoites in T. gondii.
