A GCN2-Like Eukaryotic Initiation Factor 2 Kinase Increases the Viability of Extracellular Toxoplasma gondii Parasites

10 Sept 2011

Abstract excerpt

Toxoplasmosis is a significant opportunistic infection caused by the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii, an obligate intracellular pathogen that relies on host cell nutrients for parasite proliferation. Toxoplasma parasites divide until they rupture the host cell, at which point the extracellular parasites must survive until they find a new host cell. Recent studies have indicated that phosphorylation of...
