This study uses cryo-electron tomography to show that the apical complex in apicomplexan parasites moves as a rigid body, with the conoid structure remaining unchanged during protrusion and retraction.

This study identifies multivalent interactions among AC9, AC10, and ERK7 that stabilize the apical complex in Toxoplasma, concentrating ERK7 kinase activity in the apical cap.

The paper identifies AC9 as an essential scaffold for ERK7 regulation during apical complex biogenesis in Toxoplasma gondii, revealing a novel inhibitory mechanism for an ancient MAPK.

This study identifies MAPK2 as essential for Toxoplasma gondii cell division by regulating centrosome duplication, leading to parasite death when MAPK2 is lost.
