The RON2-AMA1 interaction is a critical step in moving junction-dependent invasion by apicomplexan parasites.

The RON2-AMA1 interaction is a critical step in moving junction-dependent invasion by apicomplexan parasites.

Obligate intracellular Apicomplexa parasites share a unique invasion mechanism involving a tight interaction between the host cell and the parasite surfaces called the moving junction (MJ). The MJ, which is the anchoring structure for the invasion process, is formed by secretion of a macromolecular...
