Neighbors Working Together: a <italic toggle="yes">Toxoplasma</italic> Rhoptry Protein That Facilitates Dense Granule Protein Translocation into the Host Cell

ABSTRACT The opportunistic pathogen Toxoplasma gondii is highly adept at manipulating host cell functions. While inside a host cell, Toxoplasma divides within a parasitophorous vacuole from which it secretes numerous effector proteins from its dense granules. Many of these so-called GRA proteins are...
