| Research Abstract |
We identified two transcription factors AP2-G1 and AP2-G2 that regulate sexual development of Plasmodium gametocyte. In addition, we identified a male specific chromatin remodeling complex SWI/SNF subunit that is involved in male gametocyte development. We performed ChIP-seq of these 3 factors and identified their target genes.We analyzed the expression and function of these genes. Our study indicated that these transcription factors and a SWI/SNF subunit regulate gene expression independently or cooperatively during gametocyte development.
