ROP18 Is a Rhoptry Kinase Controlling the Intracellular Proliferation of Toxoplasma gondii

13 Feb 2007

Abstract excerpt

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite for which the discharge of apical organelles named rhoptries is a key event in host cell invasion. Among rhoptry proteins, ROP2, which is the prototype of a large protein family, is translocated in the parasitophorous vacuole membrane during invasion. The ROP2 family members are related to protein-kinases, but only some of them are predicted to be...
