Coordinated Action of Multiple Transporters in the Acquisition of Essential Cationic Amino Acids by the Intracellular Parasite <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i>

2021-06-25

Abstract excerpt

Intracellular parasites of the phylum Apicomplexa are dependent on the scavenging of essential amino acids from their hosts. We previously identified a large family of apicomplexan-specific plasma membrane-localized amino acid transporters, the ApiATs, and showed that the Toxoplasma gondii transporter Tg ApiAT1 functions in the selective uptake of arginine. Tg ApiAT1 is essential for parasite virulence, but dis...
