Bradyzoite Pseudokinase 1 Is Crucial for Efficient Oral Infectivity of the Toxoplasma gondii Tissue Cyst
5 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
The tissue cyst formed by the bradyzoite stage of Toxoplasma gondii is essential for persistent infection of the host and oral transmission. Bradyzoite pseudokinase 1 (BPK1) is a component of the cyst wall, but nothing has previously been known about its function. Here, we show that immunoprecipitation of BPK1 from in vitro bradyzoite cultures, 4 days postinfection, identifies at least four associating proteins:...
