Inverted topology of the Toxoplasma gondii ROP5 rhoptry protein provides new insights into the association of the ROP2 protein family with the parasitophorous vacuole membrane

Abstract excerpt

Toxoplasma gondii, as many intracellular parasites, is separated from the cytosol of its host cell by a parasitophorous vacuole membrane (PVM). This vacuole forms during host cell invasion and parasite apical organelles named rhoptries discharge proteins that associate with its membrane during this process. We report here the characterization of the rhoptry protein ROP5, which is a new member of the ROP2 family....
