Size-Dependent Mechanoadaptation Enables Migration with Oversized Parasitic Cargo

M. J. A. Ruiz-Fernandez, J. Jang, A. Battistella, A. Mortazavi, S. van Wierst, B. Wang, A. Kuznetcov, R. Aslan, J. Merrin, D. Vorselen, J. Guck, M. Meissner, J. Periz, B. Sabass, J. Renkawitz

The paper investigates how cells adapt to transport oversized parasitic cargo by reprogramming mechanical forces and subcellular architecture during migration.

A central protein complex essential for Invasionin Toxoplasma gondii

M. Singer, K. Simon, I. Forne, M. Meissner

The paper identifies a central protein complex in Toxoplasma gondii essential for invasion, showing that disruption of this complex blocks rhoptry secretion and host cell invasion.

Malaria transmission relies on concavin-mediated maintenance of Plasmodium sporozoite cell shape

J. Kehrer, P. Formaglio, J. M. Muthinja, S. Weber, D. Baltissen, C. Lance, J. Ripp, J. Grech, M. Meissner, C. Funaya, R. Amino, F. Frischknecht

This study identifies concavin as a protein essential for maintaining Plasmodium sporozoite shape during mosquito transmission and skin migration, with its absence leading to shape defects and reduced transmission efficiency.

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.
