The Toxoplasma Pseudokinase ROP5 Is an Allosteric Inhibitor of the Immunity-related GTPases
13 Aug 2014
Abstract excerpt
The Red Queen hypothesis proposes that there is an evolutionary arms race between host and pathogen. One possible example of such a phenomenon could be the recently discovered interaction between host defense proteins known as immunity-related GTPases (IRGs) and a family of rhoptry pseudokinases (ROP5) expressed by the protozoan parasite, Toxoplasma gondii. Mouse IRGs are encoded by an extensive and rapidly...
