Selective condensation drives partitioning and sequential secretion of cyst wall proteins in differentiating Giardia lamblia.
Controlled secretion of a protective extracellular matrix is required for transmission of the infective stage of a large number of protozoan and metazoan parasites. Differentiating trophozoites of the highly minimized protozoan parasite Giardia lamblia secrete the proteinaceous portion of the cyst w...
