Nat Commun . 2023 Sep; 14(1):5879. PMID: 37735574
Invasion of human erythrocytes by Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) merozoites relies on the interaction between two parasite proteins: apical membrane antigen 1 (AMA1) and rhoptry neck protein 2 (RON2). While antibodies...

Trypanosoma brucei spp. develop into mammalian-infectious metacyclic trypomastigotes inside tsetse salivary glands. Besides acquiring a variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) coat, little is known about the metacyclic expression of invariant surface...

Front Microbiol . 2022 Jun; 13:888525. PMID: 35722306
The etiological agent of syphilis, ssp. , is a highly invasive "stealth" pathogen that can evade the host immune response and persist within the host for decades. This obligate human...

Parks S, Nguyen S, Nasrolahi S, Bhat C, Juncaj D, Lu D, et al.
PLoS Pathog . 2021 Oct; 17(10):e1010027. PMID: 34714893
Parasitic nematodes cause significant morbidity and mortality globally. Excretory/secretory products (ESPs) such as fatty acid- and retinol- binding proteins (FARs) are hypothesized to suppress host immunity during nematode infection, yet...

Nat Commun . 2019 Sep; 10(1):4041. PMID: 31492901
Members of the Apicomplexa phylum, including Plasmodium and Toxoplasma, have two types of secretory organelles (micronemes and rhoptries) whose sequential release is essential for invasion and the intracellular lifestyle of...

Acta Crystallogr F Struct Biol Commun . 2019 Jul; 75(Pt 7):489-495. PMID: 31282868
The phylogenetically divergent spirochete bacterium Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum is the causative agent of syphilis. Central to the capacity of T. pallidum to establish infection is the ability of the...

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2018 Oct; 115(45):E10548-E10555. PMID: 30348763
Parasites of the phylum Apicomplexa are responsible for significant morbidity and mortality on a global scale. Central to the virulence of these pathogens are the phylum-specific, unconventional class XIV myosins...

Mol Microbiol . 2018 Mar; 108(5):519-535. PMID: 29505111
The Toxoplasma gondii locus mitochondrial association factor 1 (MAF1) encodes multiple paralogs, some of which mediate host mitochondrial association (HMA). Previous work showed that HMA was a trait that arose...

Increased export of transglutaminase-2 (TG2) by tubular epithelial cells (TECs) into the surrounding interstitium modifies the extracellular homeostatic balance, leading to fibrotic membrane expansion. Although silencing of extracellular TG2 ameliorates...
