Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A striated fiber is required for daughter cell budding in Toxoplasma gondii.

This immunofluorescence image shows humans fibroblasts infected with a mutant of the intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii. This mutant fails to express the striated fiber protein TgSFA3, and as a consequence does not initiate daughter cell formation during mitosis. Note that in this mutant, parasite cells contain two nuclei. Nuclei are shown in blue, and the outline of the parasites is shown in green with a red apical cap (pellicle components IMC1 and ISP1, respectively).

See Francia et al. (e1001444) in this issue.
