The hyperstability and composition of <i>Giardia</i> ’s ventral disc highlights the remarkable versatility of microtubule organelles

2018-07-03

Abstract excerpt

Giardia is a common protistan parasite that causes diarrheal disease worldwide. Motile trophozoites colonize the small intestine, attaching to the villi with the ventral disc, a unique and complex microtubule (MT) organelle. Attachment to the host epithelium allows Giardia to resist peristalsis during infection of the host gastrointestinal tract. Despite our emerging view of the complexity of ventral disc archite...
