Our new paper is out in Nature Communications! 🎉
We explore how Toxoplasma gondii organizes parasite development, combining cell biology and expansion microscopy to reveal new structural insights.

Vesicle adaptors in malaria parasites show conservation and flexibility of protein sorting machinery Cubillán-Marín et al. find that the vesicle adaptors AP-1, AP-3, and AP-4 are all important for the survival of malaria blood-stage parasites and that thes

Grech, @jimenezruizlab.bsky.social @meissnerlab.bsky.social show that #Toxoplasma gondii tepsin interacts with the AP4 adaptor complex & #clathrin to mediate #actin- and #myosin F–dependent vesicle trafficking from the trans-#Golgi to the parasite’s #lysosome-like PLVAC rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Plasmodium blood stage development requires the chromatin remodeller Snf2L - Nature Plasmodium falciparum Snf2L is an ISWI-related ATPase that actively repositions P. falciparum nucleosomes in vivo.

Happy to share this with you!
Together with the Längst lab (Uni Regensburg) we characterized PfSnf2L as essential regulator for „just in time“ transcription.
A big thanks to our collaboration partners (Marti lab) and Llinas lab (@llinaslab.bsky.social).
