4-Bromophenacyl Bromide Specifically Inhibits Rhoptry Secretion during Toxoplasma Invasion
Toxoplasma gondii is a eukaryotic parasite of the phylum Apicomplexa that is able to infect a wide variety of host cells. During its active invasion process it secretes proteins from discrete secretory organelles: the micronemes, rhoptries and dense granules. Although a number of rhoptry proteins have been shown to be involved in important interactions with the host cell, very little is known a...
متن کاملInhibition by p-bromophenacyl bromide of microtubule assembly in vitro.
Introduction Microtubules (MTs) play a central role in a variety of cellular phenomena including cell division, cell morphology and intracellular transport [ 11. Pharmacological studies of MT function and assembly involve the use of a range of MT poisons. Such agents can disrupt the control of MT dynamics either by stabilizing, e.g. taxol [2, 31, or destabilizing e.g. MTs [4-71, usually through...
متن کاملCharacterization of the interaction between Toxoplasma gondii rhoptry neck protein 4 and host cellular β-tubulin
Toxoplasma rhoptry neck protein 4 (TgRON4) is a component of the moving junction macromolecular complex that plays a central role during invasion. TgRON4 is exposed on the cytosolic side of the host cell during invasion, but its molecular interactions remain unclear. Here, we identified host cellular β-tubulin as a binding partner of TgRON4, but not Plasmodium RON4. Coimmunoprecipitation studie...
متن کاملInfluenza M1 Virus-Like Particles Consisting of Toxoplasma gondii Rhoptry Protein 4
Toxoplasma gondii infections occur throughout the world, and efforts are needed to develop various vaccine candidates expressing recombinant protein antigens. In this study, influenza matrix protein (M1) virus-like particles (VLPs) consisting of T. gondii rhoptry antigen 4 (ROP4 protein) were generated using baculovirus (rBV) expression system. Recombinant ROP4 protein with influenza M1 were cl...
متن کاملFunctional Analysis of the Rhoptry Kinome during Chronic Toxoplasma gondii Infection
Toxoplasma gondii is one of the most common parasitic infections of humans worldwide. Once exposed, humans remain infected with T. gondii for life, and there are no therapeutics capable of eliminating a chronic infection. In the search for novel drug targets, T. gondii is known to contain several unique secretory organelles, one of which is called the rhoptries. Rhoptry organelles contain and s...
