The host cell transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor 1 is required for Toxoplasma gondii growth and survival at physiological oxygen levels
18 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular protozoan pathogen. We previously found that genes mediating cellular responses to hypoxia were upregulated in Toxoplasma -infected cells but not in cells infected with another intracellular pathogen, Trypanosoma cruzi. The inducible expression of these genes is controlled by the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF1) transcription factor, which is the master regulator of...
