A forward genetic screen identifies a negative regulator of rapid Ca2+-dependent cell egress (MS1) in the intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii
1 Mar 2017
Abstract excerpt
Toxoplasma gondii , like all apicomplexan parasites, uses Ca 2+ signaling pathways to activate gliding motility to power tissue dissemination and host cell invasion and egress. A group of "plant-like" Ca 2+ -dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) transduces cytosolic Ca 2+ flux into enzymatic activity, but how they function is poorly understood. To investigate how Ca 2+ signaling activates egress through CDPKs, we...
