Iron-mediated post-transcriptional regulation in Toxoplasma gondii

Abstract excerpt

Iron is required to support almost all life; however, levels must be carefully regulated to maintain homeostasis. Although the obligate parasite Toxoplasma gondii requires iron, how it responds upon iron limitation has not been investigated. Here, we show that iron depletion triggers significant transcriptional changes in the parasite, including in iron-dependent pathways. We find that a subset of T. gondii...
