Toxofilin upregulates the host cortical actin cytoskeleton dynamics facilitating <i>Toxoplasma</i> invasion

1 Jan 2012

Abstract excerpt

Toxoplasma gondii, a human pathogen and a model apicomplexan parasite, actively and rapidly invades host cells. To initiate invasion, the parasite induces the formation of a parasite-cell junction, and progressively propels itself through the junction, inside a newly formed vacuole that encloses the entering parasite. Little is known about how a parasite that is a few microns in diameter overcomes the host cell...
