Abstract excerpt
The obligate intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii replicates within a specialized compartment called the parasitophorous vacuole (PV). Recent work showed that despite living within a PV, Toxoplasma endocytoses proteins from the cytosol of infected host cells via a so-called ingestion pathway. The ingestion pathway is initiated by dense granule protein GRA14, which binds host endosomal sorting complex required...
