Abstract excerpt
Toxoplasma gondii dense granules are morphologically similar to dense matrix granules in specialized secretory cells, yet are secreted in a constitutive, calcium-independent fashion. We previously demonstrated that secretion of dense granule proteins in permeabilized parasites was augmented by the non-hydrolyzable GTP analogue guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate (GTPgammaS) (Chaturvedi, S., Qi, H., Coleman, D....
