TgIF2K-B is an eIF2α kinase in <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i> that responds to oxidative stress and optimizes pathogenicity

2020-09-25

Abstract excerpt

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that persists in its vertebrate hosts in the form of dormant tissue cysts, which facilitate transmission through predation. The parasite must strike a balance that allows it to disseminate throughout its host without killing it, which requires the ability to properly counter host cell defenses. For example, oxidative stress encountered by Toxoplasma is sugge...
