Actin in the parasiteToxoplasma gondii is encoded by a single copy gene,ACT1 and exists primarily in a globular form

1 Jan 1997

Abstract excerpt

Actin is a highly conserved microfilament protein that plays an important role in the invasion of host cells by the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. We have characterized the ACT1 gene and localized the conventional isoform of actin that it encodes within T. gondii. The predicted amino acid sequence of ACT1 was most similar to two other parasite actins, Plasmodium falciparum Pfact-1 (93.1% identical) and...
