Blocking palmitoylation of <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i> myosin light chain 1 disrupts glideosome composition but has little impact on parasite motility

2020-08-14

Abstract excerpt

Toxoplasma gondii is a widespread apicomplexan parasite that causes severe disease in immunocompromised individuals and the developing fetus. Like other apicomplexans, T. gondii uses an unusual form of gliding motility to invade cells of its hosts and to disseminate throughout the body during infection. It is well established that a myosin-based motor consisting of a Class XIVa heavy chain (TgMyoA) and two light...
