The Actinomyosin Motor Drives Malaria Parasite Red Blood Cell Invasion but Not Egress

The Actinomyosin Motor Drives Malaria Parasite Red Blood Cell Invasion but Not Egress

Apicomplexa are obligate intracellular parasites that actively invade, replicate within, and egress from host cells. The parasite actinomyosin-based molecular motor complex (often referred to as the glideosome) is considered an important mediator of parasite motility and virulence. Mature intracellu...
