Stable and ancient endocytic structures navigate the complex pellicle of apicomplexan parasites

L. Koreny, B. N. Mercado-Saavedra, C. M. Klinger, K. Barylyuk, S. Butterworth, J. Hirst, Y. Rivera-Cuevas, N. R. Zaccai, V. J. C. Holzer, A. Klingl, J. B. Dacks, V. B. Carruthers, M. S. Robinson, S. Gras, R. F. Waller

This study identifies stable endocytic structures in Toxoplasma, showing their conservation across Apicomplexa and their role in plasma membrane homeostasis rather than nutrition.

Toxoplasma scavenges mammalian host organelles through usurpation of host ESCRT-III and Vps4

I. Coppens, J. D. Romano, J. A. Mayoral, R. Guevara, Y. Rivera-Cuevas, V. B. Carruthers, L. M. Weiss

This study shows Toxoplasma uses host ESCRT-III and Vps4 to scavenge host organelles into its parasitophorous vacuole through proteins TgGRA14 and TgGRA64.

Dense granule protein, GRA64 interacts with host cell ESCRT proteins during Toxoplasma gondii infection

J. Mayoral, R. B. Guevara, Y. Rivera-Cuevas, V. Tu, T. Tomita, J. D. Romano, L. Gunther-Cummins, S. Sidoli, I. Coppens, V. B. Carruthers, L. M. Weiss

This study identifies GRA64, a Toxoplasma gondii dense granule protein that interacts with host ESCRT proteins, and shows its role in intracystic vesicle formation during chronic infection.

Toxoplasma gondii subverts the host ESCRT machinery for parasite uptake of host cytosolic proteins

Y. Rivera-Cuevas, J. Mayoral, M. Di Cristina, A.-L. E. Lawrence, E. B. Olafsson, D. Thornhill, B. S. Waldman, A. Ono, J. Sexton, S. Lourido, L. M. Weiss, V. B. Carruthers

This study identifies TgGRA14 as a parasite protein that recruits the host ESCRT machinery to facilitate uptake of host cytosolic proteins across the parasitophorous vacuole membrane.
