A forward genetic screen reveals that calcium-dependent protein kinase 3 regulates egress in Toxoplasma.
Egress from the host cell is a crucial and highly regulated step in the biology of the obligate intracellular parasite, Toxoplasma gondii. Active egress depends on calcium fluxes and appears to be a crucial step in escaping the attack from the immune system and, potentially, in enabling the parasite...
