description Leishmania are protozoan parasites responsible for leishmaniasis. These parasites present a precise gene regulation that allows them to survive different environmental conditions during their digenetic life cycle. This adaptation depends on the regulation of the expression of a wide variety of genes, which occurs, mainly at the post-transcriptional level. This differential gene expression is achieved by mechanisms based mainly in RNA binding proteins that regulate the translation and/or stability of mRNA targets by interaction with cis elements principally located in the untranslated regions (UTR). In recent studies, our group identified and characterized two proteins, SCD6 and RBP42, as RNA binding proteins in Leishmania braziliensis. To find clues about the cellular processes in which these proteins are involved, this work was aimed to determine the SCD6- and RBP42-interacting proteins (interactome) in L. braziliensis promastigotes. For this purpose, after an in vivo UV cross-linking, cellular extracts were used to immunoprecipitated, by specific antibodies, protein complexes in which SCD6 or RBP42 were present. Protein mass spectrometry analysis of the immunoprecipitated proteins identified 96 proteins presumably associated with SCD6 and 173 proteins associated with RBP42. Notably, a significant proportion of the identified proteins were shared in both interactomes, indicating a possible functional relationship between SCD6 and RBP42. Remarkably, many of the proteins identified in the SCD6 and RBP42 interactomes are related to RNA metabolism and translation processes, and many of them have been described as components of ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules in Leishmania and related trypanosomatids. Thus, these results support a role of SCD6 and RBP42 in the assembly and/or function of mRNA-protein complexes, participating in the fate (decay/accumulation/translation) of L. braziliensis transcripts. Significance: Parasites of the Leishmania genus present a particular regulation of gene expression, operating mainly at the post-transcriptional level, surely aimed to modulate quickly both mRNA and protein levels to survive the sudden environmental changes that occur during a parasite's life cycle as it moves from one host to another. This regulation of gene expression processes would be governed by the interaction of mRNA with RNA binding proteins. Nevertheless, the entirety of protein networks involved in these regulatory processes is far from being understood. In this regard, our work is contributing to stablish protein networks in which the L. braziliensis SCD6 and RBP42 proteins are involved; these proteins, in previous works, have been described as RNA binding proteins and found to participate in gene regulation in different cells and organisms. Additionally, our data point out a possible functional relationship between SCD6 and RBP42 proteins as constituents of mRNA granules, like processing bodies or stress granules, which are essential structures in the regulation of gene expression. This knowledge could provide a new approach for the development of therapeutic targets to control Leishmania infections.
