Biogenesis and discharge of the rhoptries: Key organelles for entry and hijack of host cells by the Apicomplexa
24 Dec 2020
Abstract excerpt
Rhoptries are specialized secretory organelles found in the Apicomplexa phylum, playing a central role in the establishment of parasitism. The rhoptry content includes membranous as well as proteinaceous materials that are discharged into the host cell in a regulated fashion during parasite entry. A set of rhoptry neck proteins form a RON complex that critically participates in the moving junction formation...
