Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular protozoan able to infect a wide range of host species. The apical region of the parasite is rich in organelles that are involved in both adhesion and invasion process of the host cell. Some proteins released by micronemes (MICs) have adhesives domains which are essential to the parasite virulence; they can form complexes on the parasites surf…
Like other parasites of the phylum Apicomplexa, Toxoplasma gondii invades host cells through a process that depends on the release of microneme proteins from intracellular organelles called micronemes (MIC). Microneme proteins 1 (TgMIC1), 4 (TgMIC4), and 6 (TgMIC6) form a complex on the surface of T. gondii. TgMIC1 and TgMIC4, are carbohydrate-binding proteins that recognize terminal sial…
