‘The glideosome’: a dynamic complex powering gliding motion and host cell invasion by Toxoplasma gondii

25 Jul 2002

Abstract excerpt

Motion is an intrinsic property of all living organisms, and each cell displays a variety of shapes and modes of locomotion. How structural proteins support cellular movement and how cytoskeletal dynamics and motor proteins are harnessed to generate order and movement are among the fundamental and not fully resolved questions in biology today. Protozoan parasites belonging to the Apicomplexa are of enormous...
