The Toxoplasma Acto-MyoA Motor Complex Is Important but Not Essential for Gliding Motility and Host Cell Invasion

Saskia Egarter, Nicole Andenmatten, Allison J Jackson, Jamie A Whitelaw, Gurmann Pall, Jennifer A Black, David JP Ferguson, Isabelle Tardieux, Alex Mogilner, Markus Meissner

The paper investigates the role of the Toxoplasma Acto-MyoA motor complex in gliding motility and host cell invasion, finding that while important, it is not essential as mutants remain invasive.
