Identification of microsporidia host-exposed proteins reveals a repertoire of rapidly evolving proteins

Unbiased identification of proteins from pathogens that are exposed to a host can provide insight into host–pathogen interaction. Here, the authors use an enzymatic tagging method and mass spectrometry to identify rapidly evolvingNematocida microsporidia proteins when infecting C. elegans.
