Cryptosporidium sex employs a complex male fertilization apparatus that is required for continued infection

This study identifies a complex male fertilization apparatus in Cryptosporidium, essential for infection, and shows that disrupting HAP2 prevents fertilization and clears infection.

Cryptosporidium sequentially remodels its single rhoptry into the host interface

This study reveals how Cryptosporidium remodels its single rhoptry into the host interface during invasion and intracellular parasitism.

A short linear motif, conserved from yeast to human, binds to members of the Spa2/GIT1 family of cortical scaffold proteins

The paper identifies a conserved short linear motif that binds to Spa2/GIT1 family proteins, affecting tip growth and localization in yeast.

ARF1 prevents aberrant type I IFN induction by regulating STING activation and recycling

This study identifies ARF1 as a negative regulator of cGAS-STING signaling, showing it prevents type I IFN induction by regulating STING activation and recycling.
