Identification of microsporidia host-exposed proteins reveals a repertoire of large paralogous gene families and rapidly evolving proteins

Aaron W Reinke, Keir M Balla, Eric J Bennett, Emily R Troemel

The paper identifies host-exposed proteins from microsporidia using spatially restricted enzymatic tagging and mass spectrometry, revealing rapidly evolving, species-specific gene families.

Cell-to-cell spread of microsporidia causes C. elegans organs to form syncytia

Keir M Balla, Robert J Luallen, Malina A Bakowski, Emily R Troemel

This study shows microsporidia in C. elegans restructure host tissues into multinucleate cells, with some species causing syncytia in intestine or muscle, and infection density affecting their life cycle transition.
