Dissecting the interface between apicomplexan parasite and host cell: Insights from a divergent AMA–RON2 pair

28 Dec 2015

Abstract excerpt

Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii are widely studied parasites in phylum Apicomplexa and the etiological agents of severe human malaria and toxoplasmosis, respectively. These intracellular pathogens have evolved a sophisticated invasion strategy that relies on delivery of proteins into the host cell, where parasite-derived rhoptry neck protein 2 (RON2) family members localize to the host outer membrane...
