<i>Toxoplasma</i> surface coat protein TgSRS57 (TgSAG3) regulates complement deposition, Factor H recruitment, and promotes parasite persistence

2022-10-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The surface coat of Toxoplasma gondii possesses a lectin-like activity that activates host complement. Serum resistance relies on specific recruitment of host regulators Factor H (FH) and C4BP to the parasite surface to inactivate bound C3 and evade the complement system. TgSRS57 (TgSAG3) was previously reported to possess a lectin-like activity specific for sulfated proteoglycans (SPGs) that f...
