Within the expressed sequence tag (EST) dataset of Toxoplasma gondii we have identified several ESTs encoding a protein similar to the small zinc finger protein MPS1. In human it is suggested that MPS1 plays a role as a transcriptional mediator in response to various growth factors and it is used as a tumour marker in sera from cancer patients. However, in rat a cDNA sequence homologous to MPS1 encodes ribosomal protein S27. To further characterise MPS1 in T. gondii we transformed tachyzoites with a c-Myc-tagged version of the Toxoplasma MPS1 cDNA, flanked by SAG1 sequences. Western blot analysis showed that the Myc-MPS1 was only poorly expressed in the stable transformants. In contrast, Northern blot analysis demonstrated that the Myc-MPS1 mRNA was abundantly transcribed and that the endogenous level of MPS1 mRNA was not affected.
