Citation | Journal: Nat Struct Mol Biol / Year: 2025Title: Atomic models of the Toxoplasma cell invasion machinery. Authors: Jianwei Zeng / Yong Fu / Pengge Qian / Wei Huang / Qingwei Niu / Wandy L Beatty / Alan Brown / L David Sibley / Rui Zhang / ![]() Abstract: Apicomplexan parasites, responsible for toxoplasmosis, cryptosporidiosis and malaria, invade host cells through a unique gliding motility mechanism powered by actomyosin motors and a dynamic ...Apicomplexan parasites, responsible for toxoplasmosis, cryptosporidiosis and malaria, invade host cells through a unique gliding motility mechanism powered by actomyosin motors and a dynamic organelle called the conoid. Here, using cryo-electron microscopy, we determined structures of four essential complexes of the Toxoplasma gondii conoid: the preconoidal P2 ring, tubulin-based conoid fibers, and the subpellicular and intraconoidal microtubules. Our analysis identified 40 distinct conoid proteins, several of which are essential for parasite lytic growth, as revealed through genetic disruption studies. Comparative analysis of the tubulin-containing complexes sheds light on their functional specialization by microtubule-associated proteins, while the structure of the preconoidal ring pinpoints the site of actin polymerization and initial translocation, enhancing our mechanistic understanding of gliding motility and, therefore, parasite invasion. | |||||||||
