Calcium-binding protein EhCaBP3 is recruited to the phagocytic complex ofEntamoeba histolyticaby interacting with Arp2/3 complex subunit 2

Abstract excerpt

Phagocytosis is involved in invasive disease of the parasite Entamoeba histolytica. Upon binding of red blood cells, there is a sequential recruitment of EhC2PK, EhCaBP1, EhAK1, and Arp2/3 complex during the initiation phase. In addition, EhCaBP3 is also recruited to the site and, along with myosin 1B, is thought to be involved in progression of phagocytic cups from initiation to phagosome formation. However, it...
