Abstract excerpt
Rhoptry and microneme organelles of the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii are closely associated with host cell adhesion/invasion and establishment of the intracellular parasitophorous vacuole. In order to study the targeting of proteins to these specialized secretory organelles, we have engineered green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusions to the rhoptry protein ROP1 and the microneme protein MIC3. Both chimeras...
