Toxoplasma gondii relies on its actin cytoskeleton to glide and enter its host cell. However, T. gondii tachyzoites are known to display a strikingly low amount of actin filaments, which suggests that sequestration of actin monomers could play a key role in parasite actin dynamics. We isolated a 27-kDa tachyzoite protein on the basis of its ability...

... In addition, gliding motility occurs by moving the position of contact between T. gondii zoites and the invaded host cell longitudinally in the same orientation of the subpellicular microtubules. This is responsible for the corkscrew gliding motility, in addition to the zoites crescent shape and spiral cytoskeleton [17] . ...
