Toxoplasma gondii PPM3C, a secreted protein phosphatase, affects parasitophorous vacuole effector export

J. Mayoral, T. Tomita, V. Tu, J. T. Aguilan, S. Sidoli, L. M. Weiss

This study identifies TgPPM3C, a secreted phosphatase in Toxoplasma gondii, and shows it regulates effector export and host c-Myc induction by modulating phosphorylation of proteins like GRA16.
