Azenta p2a skip peptide sequence

(A) Phylogenetic relationship of C. parvum H3 and centromeric H3 (CENH3) histones and their corresponding top BLASTP hits in other eukaryotes, apicomplexan parasites, Saccharomyces cerevisiae , or Homo sapiens . Cyan stars represent annotated histone H3 genes. (B) Protein sequence alignment of H3 (cyan) and CENH3 (black) in C. parvum . Amino acids that are identical between at least two sequences are highlighted in grey. (C) Diagram of the targeting constructs designed to replace the endogenous tk locus with a second copy of either of the genes annotated as Histone H3-like proteins in C. parvum ( cgd3_2540 or cgd4_3220 ), a 3HA tag, and a <t>Nluc-P2A-NeoR</t> cassette. (D) Immunofluorescence staining of transgenic H3.1-3HA or (E) H3.2-3HA parasites. HCT-8 cells were infected with transgenic oocysts, fixed at 18 hpi, and stained with rat anti-HA and VVL-Biotin, followed by secondary antibodies Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-rat IgG and Alexa Fluor 647 Streptavidin. Hoechst was used for nuclear staining. Images were acquired as Z-stacks using a Zeiss LSM-880 Laser Scanning Confocal microscope equipped with Airyscan (LSCM-A) and are presented with orthogonal views. Scale bars, 1 μm.

(A) Diagram of the targeting construct designed to add a 3HA tag and Nluc-P2A-Neo R cassette to the C-terminus of the C. parvum CENH3 ( cgd4_2030 ). (B) HCT-8 cells were infected with CENH3-3HA C. parvum parasites, fixed at 22 hpi, and stained with rat anti-HA and VVL-Biotin, followed by secondary antibodies Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-rat IgG and Alexa Fluor 647 Streptavidin followed by Hoechst staining. Images were acquired as Z-stacks using LSCM-A and are presented with orthogonal views. Scale bars, 1 μm. (C) Cartoon depiction corresponding to the microscopy image in panel (B). In Cryptosporidium , a late-stage meront contains eight nuclei that have recently completed cytokinesis to form mature merozoites. The CENH3-3HA signal within each nucleus displays a diffuse staining pattern in C. parvum . (D) HCT-8 cells were infected with CENH3-3HA T. gondii parasites, fixed at 24 hours post-infection (hpi), and stained with rat anti-HA and rabbit anti-aldolase (ALD) to visualize the cytosol, followed by secondary antibodies Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-rat IgG and Alexa Fluor 568 anti-rabbit IgG. Hoechst was used for nuclear staining. Images were acquired as Z-stacks using LSCM-A and are presented with orthogonal views. Scale bars, 1 μm. (E) Cartoon depiction corresponding to the microscopy image in panel (D). In T. gondii tachyzoites, the CENH3-3HA signal within each nucleus displays a discrete staining pattern. (F) HCT-8 cells were infected with excysted C. parvum sporozoites for 2 h, then washed twice to remove extracellular parasites. Cultures were fixed at 30 min increments between 6-9 hpi to identify the first (trophozoites with one nucleus), second (early meronts with 2 nuclei), and third (mid-stage meronts with 4 nuclei) mitotic divisions during the first round of merogony by widefield microscopy. Scale bars, 1 μm. (G) Cultures were infected with CENH3-3HA C. parvum sporozoites for 2 h, washed, and fixed at 6.5 hpi to capture the first round of mitosis. Cultures were stained with rat anti-HA, rabbit anti-centrin-1, and VVL-Biotin, followed by secondary antibodies Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-rat IgG, Alexa Fluor 568 goat anti-mouse IgG, and Alexa Fluor 647 Streptavidin, and lastly Hoechst. Parasites undergoing mitosis were identified by having two centrin-1 points per nucleus, whereas parasites in interphase had only one centrin-1 point. Images were acquired as Z-stacks using LSCM-A and are presented with orthogonal views. Scale bars, 1 μm.
