The Rab11-family interacting proteins reveal selective interaction of mammalian recycling endosomes with the Toxoplasma parasitophorous vacuole in a Rab11-and Arf6-dependent manner

Eric J. Hartman et al.

Summary: The parasite Toxoplasma interacts with host Rab11 vesicles in a specific and selective manner, recruiting subpopulations of Rab11 vesicles characterized by different effectors into its self-made membrane-bound compartment. This interaction is mediated by specific parasite proteins and plays a crucial role in the scavenging process.

Dense Granule Protein GRA64 Interacts with Host Cell ESCRT Proteins during Toxoplasma gondii Infection

Joshua Mayoral et al.

Summary: This study investigates the interaction between the secreted protein GRA64 of Toxoplasma gondii and host endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT), and reveals the important role of GRA64 in tissue cyst formation. This study lays the foundation for further understanding the mechanics and consequences of host ESCRT-parasite protein interactions.

Seizing control: How dense granule effector proteins enable Toxoplasma to take charge

Michael W. Panas et al.

Summary: Toxoplasma gondii relies on exporting effector proteins to interfere with host cellular processes, including transcription, immune responses, and cell cycle. This coordinated action of a large collection of effectors is both elegant and complex, allowing the parasite to control the host cell effectively.

Proximity-Labeling Reveals Novel Host and Parasite Proteins at the Toxoplasma Parasitophorous Vacuole Membrane

Alicja M. Cygan et al.

Summary: In this study, the researchers employed human foreskin fibroblasts expressing a proximity-labeling enzyme and quantitative proteomics to identify novel parasite and host proteins localized at the Toxoplasma parasitophorous vacuole membrane (PVM) interface. The results revealed the presence of three parasite proteins and four host proteins at the PVM in infected human cells, expanding our understanding of the molecular players at this crucial host-pathogen interface. These findings suggest the presence of novel biology at the Toxoplasma PVM, particularly with the identification of host proteins involved in the ESCRT machinery.

Toxoplasma gondii exploits the host ESCRT machinery for parasite uptake of host cytosolic proteins

Yolanda Rivera-Cuevas et al.

Summary: Toxoplasma gondii manipulates host cells to extract resources for its survival intracellularly, utilizing host ESCRT machinery with the involvement of transmembrane dense granule protein TgGRA14 to uptake host cytosolic proteins, revealing a novel mechanism for nutrient acquisition by the parasite.
