    A single-parasite transcriptional atlas of Toxoplasma Gondii reveals novel control of antigen expression

    Yuan Xue, Terence C Theisen ... John C Boothroyd
    Single-cell RNA-sequencing resolves the transcriptional landscape of asexual development in Toxoplasma gondii, revealing concerted genetic programs to Plasmodiumfalciparum and a novel transcriptional factor that controls antigen switching.

    Differential requirements for cyclase-associated protein (CAP) in actin-dependent processes of Toxoplasma gondii

    Alex Hunt, Matthew Robert Geoffrey Russell ... Moritz Treeck
    Partially overlapping functions of a limited subset of actin binding proteins allow the parasite Toxoplasma gondii to achieve actin regulation required for complex cellular processes.

    Chromerid genomes reveal the evolutionary path from photosynthetic algae to obligate intracellular parasites

    Yong H Woo, Hifzur Ansari ... Arnab Pain
    Analysis of chromerid algal genomes reveals how apicomplexans have evolved from free-living algae into successful eukaryotic parasites via massive losses and re-inventing functional roles of genes.

    Analysis of CDPK1 targets identifies a trafficking adaptor complex that regulates microneme exocytosis in Toxoplasma

    Alex W Chan, Malgorzata Broncel ... Sebastian Lourido
    Comprehensive characterization of kinase-dependent phosphorylation in the human pathogen Toxoplasma gondii identifies a trafficking adaptor complex required for virulence factor secretion and infection.

    Toxoplasma TgATG9 is critical for autophagy and long-term persistence in tissue cysts

    David Smith, Geetha Kannan ... Vern B Carruthers
    ATG9-dependent autophagy is an essential pathway for long-term survival within the cyst in the parasite Toxoplasma gondii and could be exploited in future studies seeking interventions against persistent Toxoplasma infection.

    An aspartyl protease defines a novel pathway for export of Toxoplasma proteins into the host cell

    Michael J Coffey, Brad E Sleebs ... Christopher J Tonkin
    The Toxoplasma parasite requires an enzyme called ASP5 to cleave proteins for export into host cells.

    A plant-like mechanism coupling m6A reading to polyadenylation safeguards transcriptome integrity and developmental gene partitioning in Toxoplasma

    Dayana C Farhat, Matthew W Bowler ... Christopher Swale
    The epitranscriptomic-driven mRNA polyadenylation pathway protects transcriptome integrity by restricting transcriptional read-throughs and RNA chimera formation in apicomplexan parasites and plants.

    Formin-2 drives polymerisation of actin filaments enabling segregation of apicoplasts and cytokinesis in Plasmodium falciparum

    Johannes Felix Stortz, Mario Del Rosario ... Sujaan Das
    Formin-2 controls spatiotemporal polymerisation of actin filaments, a common mechanism used by apicomplexans for effective segregation of essential chloroplast-like organelles called apicoplasts, and additionally for daughter formation in Plasmodium falciparum.
