Description	Ferredoxin, Fd, is often deficient in metronidazole-resistant strains of Trichomonas vaginalis and is thought to be necessary for drug activation. To directly test whether Fd is essential for metronidazole susceptibility, gene replacement technology has been developed for T. vaginalis. The selectable marker gene neomycin phosphotransferase (NEO) flanked by approximately 2.6 and approximately 2.0 kBp of the Fd 5' and 3' flanking regions (pKO-FD-NEO) was introduced into cells on linear DNA and selected for NEO gene expression. Stable transformants were shown to contain the NEO gene in the Fd locus and to have completely lost the Fd gene. Northern and immunoblot analyses confirm the loss of Fd mRNA and protein in pKO-FD-NEO cells. Analyses of the activity of hydrogenosomal proteins in Fd KO cells show a fourfold increase in hydrogenase activity and a 95% decrease in pyruvate/ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PFO) activity. In contrast, PFO and hydrogenase mRNA levels are unchanged.
