Stability and function of a putative microtubule organizing center in the human parasite <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i>

2017-01-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The organization of the microtubule cytoskeleton is dictated by microtubule nucleators or organizing centers. Toxoplasma gondii, an important human parasite, has an array of 22 regularly spaced cortical microtubules stemming from a hypothesized organizing center, the apical polar ring. Here, we examine the functions of the apical polar ring by characterizing two of its components, KinesinA and...
