Structural basis of Toxoplasma gondii perforin-like protein 1 membrane interaction and activity during egress.

Structural basis of Toxoplasma gondii perforin-like protein 1 membrane interaction and activity during egress.

Intracellular pathogens must egress from the host cell to continue their infectious cycle. Apicomplexans are a phylum of intracellular protozoans that have evolved members of the membrane attack complex and perforin (MACPF) family of pore forming proteins to disrupt cellular membranes for traversing...
