Aldolase forms a bridge between cell surface adhesins and the actin cytoskeleton in apicomplexan parasites.

Molecular cell - 1 Apr 2003

Jewett Travis J, Sibley L David

Abstract excerpt

Host cell invasion by apicomplexan parasites requires coordinated interactions between cell surface adhesins and the parasite cytoskeleton. We have identified a complex of parasite proteins, including the actin binding protein aldolase, which specifically interacts with the C-terminal domains of several parasite adhesins belonging to the thrombospondin-related anonymous protein (TRAP) family. Binding of aldolase...
