Apicomplexan F-actin is required for efficient nuclear entry during host cell invasion

M. Del Rosario, J. Periz, G. Pavlou, O. Lyth, F. Latorre-Barragan, S. Das, G. S. Pall, J. F. Stortz, L. Lemgruber, J. Baum, I. Tardieux, M. Meissner

This study shows that F-actin is essential for nuclear passage during host cell invasion by apicomplexan parasites, stabilizing the junction and facilitating nuclear movement.
