Co-dependent formation of the <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i> sub-pellicular microtubules and inner membrane skeleton

2024-05-25

Abstract excerpt

One of the defining features of apicomplexan parasites is their cytoskeleton composed of alveolar vesicles, known as the inner membrane complex (IMC) undergirded by intermediate-like filament network and an array of subpellicular microtubules (SPMTs). In Toxoplasma gondii , this specialized cytoskeleton is involved in all aspects of the disease-causing lytic cycle, and notably acting as a scaffold for parasite of...
