An extracellular redox signal triggers calcium release and impacts the asexual development of Toxoplasma gondii

E. Alves, H. J. Benns, L. Magnus, C. Dominicus, T. Dobai, J. Blight, C. J. Wincott, M. A. Child

This study shows that extracellular redox signals trigger calcium release in Toxoplasma gondii, affecting its asexual development and egress.

Cellular barcoding of protozoan pathogens reveals the within-host population dynamics of Toxoplasma gondii host colonization

C. J. Wincott, G. Sritharan, H. J. Benns, F. B. Liakath, C. Gilabert-Carbajo, M. Bunyan, A. Fairweather, E. Alves, I. Andrews, L. Game, E. M. Frickel, C. Tiengwe, S. E. Ewald, M. A. Child

The paper develops a CRISPR-based barcoding method for protozoa and applies it to Toxoplasma gondii, showing the blood-brain barrier is not a major bottleneck for colonization.

Dynamic regulation of the Trypanosoma brucei transferrin receptor in response to iron starvation is mediated via the 3UTR

C. Benz, W. Lo, N. Fathallah, A. Connor-Guscott, H. J. Benns, M. D. Urbaniak

The paper shows that the 3UTR of TbTfR mediates dynamic regulation of the transferrin receptor in T. brucei under iron starvation, independent of genomic location.
