Toxoplasma gondii harbors a hypoxia-responsive coproporphyrinogen dehydrogenase-like protein.

M. Key, C. G. Baptista, A. Bergmann, K. Floyd, I. J. Blader, Z. Dou

This study identifies a hypoxia-responsive coproporphyrinogen dehydrogenase-like protein in Toxoplasma gondii that exhibits enzymatic activity but does not affect intracellular growth under hypoxia.

A cathepsin C-like protease post-translationally modifies Toxoplasma gondii secretory proteins for optimal invasion and egress.

L. B. Thornton, M. Key, C. Micchelli, A. J. Stasic, S. Kwain, K. Floyd, S. N. J. Moreno, B. N. Dominy, D. C. Whitehead, Z. Dou

This study identifies TgCPC1, a cathepsin C-like protease in Toxoplasma gondii, as essential for the post-translational modification of micronemal proteins required for invasion and egress.

Toxoplasma gondii requires its plant-like heme biosynthesis pathway for infection.

A. Bergmann, K. Floyd, M. Key, C. Dameron, K. C. Rees, D. C. Whitehead, I. Hamza, Z. Dou

This study shows Toxoplasma gondii relies on its plant-like heme biosynthesis pathway for infection and demonstrates oxadiazon and its derivatives inhibit growth, suggesting heme biosynthesis as a therapeutic target.
