A schizont-derived protein, TpSCOP, is involved in the activation of NF-κB in Theileria parva-infected lymphocytes

Theileria parva is a tick-transmitted intracellular protozoan parasite that causes East Coast fever, a fatal bovine lymphoproliferative disease. The molecular mechanisms that underlie host cell transformation by T. parva schizonts have been studied extensively, and it is known that the transcription...

description Theileria parva is a tick-transmitted intracellular protozoan parasite that causes East Coast fever, a fatal bovine lymphoproliferative disease. The molecular mechanisms that underlie host cell transformation by T. parva schizonts have been studied extensively, and it is known that the transcription factor NF-κB is activated in schizont–infected cells, which makes the T. parva-transformed cells resistant to apoptosis. However, the mechanism by which the parasite triggers the activation of NF-κB remains enigmatic. In the present study, we biochemically characterized a novel protein, which we termed TpSCOP, which is expressed in the schizont stage of T. parva. TpSCOP was shown to interact with F-actin in vitro. Expression of TpSCOP in a murine lymphocytic cell line resulted in the activation of NF-κB signaling pathways, leading to apoptosis resistance. The activation of MAPKs, including ERK and JNK, were also detected. Furthermore, the introduction of TpSCOP into T. parva-infected cells also enhanced the activation of NF-κB. This is the first report to demonstrate that parasite-derived molecule has the ability to activate the host NF-κB pathway. Based on these results, TpSCOP likely plays an important role in apoptosis inhibition during Theileria infection.
