Disc and Actin-Associated Protein 1 Influence Attachment in the Intestinal Parasite <i>Giardia lamblia</i>

2021-08-07

Abstract excerpt

The deep-branching eukaryote Giardia lamblia is an extracellular parasite that attaches to the host intestine via a microtubule-based structure called the ventral disc. Control of attachment is mediated in part by the movement of two regions of the ventral disc that either permit or exclude the passage of fluid under the disc. Several known disc-associated proteins (DAPs) contribute to disc structure and function...
