Overview

Comprehensive analysis shows distinct roles of two SWI/SNF complexes in regulating gene expression in Toxoplasma gondii, suggesting specialized control mechanisms.

Key Points

  • This study aims to elucidate the roles of two distinct SWI/SNF complexes in regulating transcription in Toxoplasma gondii.
  • Integrated transcriptomics with chromatin-profiling strategies to analyze Myb protein family.
  • Defined composition of two SWI3 complexes: TgSNF2a and TgSNF2b.
  • Conducted cell cycle–resolved chromatin profiling to observe shifts in ATPase occupancy.
  • TgSNF2a is essential for timely transcription of regulated genes.
  • TgSNF2b ensures global transcriptional competency across the cell cycle.
  • Observations show occupancy shift from TgSNF2b to TgSNF2a as genes transition to active transcription.
