Formin-2 drives intracellular polymerisation of actin filaments enabling correct segregation of apicoplasts in <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> and <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i>

2018-12-06

Abstract excerpt

Pathogenic obligate-intracellular apicomplexan parasites possess an essential chloroplast-like organelle called the apicoplast that undergoes division and segregation during replication. Parasite actin is essential during intracellular development, implicated in vesicular transport, parasite replication and apicoplast inheritance. However, the inability to visualise live actin dynamics in apicomplexan parasites li...
