If you wanna know how important is the apicoplast for toxoplasma bradyzoites check out our work now available on biorxiv 🔬🦠😁!
16 Jan 2023
Is the apicoplast essential for Toxoplasma persistence? Sometimes you have to go through rather convoluted ways to answer a simple question. Huge effort of PhD student @SanchezSyrian in collaboration with the lab of Nico Blanchard @InfinityTLS to find out:

How does Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites multiply so efficiently?
Our review dives into the molecular choreography of endodyogeny—scaffolds, transcription factors, and cytoskeleton that enable parasite division.

I finally found the time to write a short piece on ATG8ylation of the apicoplast. You may want to check it out here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

🚨New paper out! 🚨
The apicoplast is an essential plastid retaining many crucial metabolic pathways 🦠🏭 However, bypassing all of them makes the apicoplast dispensable!

Excited to see our paper published in MBOC! 🎉 Our research explores a glyoxalase-like protein in the apicoplast, crucial for Toxoplasma growth and organelle homeostasis maintenance. Huge thanks to the newly promoted Research Director @s_besteiro🏋♂️

Delighted to share our study on a major Toxoplasma virulence factor that prevents lytic host cell death.
Many thanks to @ParaFrap for support, constructive reviews and all labs involved: Melissa Lodoen, Hiba El Hajj, @MGissot, @KarineLeRoch1

#Apicomplexans need specialized structures to invade host cells & replicate. @petersmback @GEWard14 @ToxInLA &co show that alveolin protein IMC6 is crucial for maintaining cellular morphology, invasion & successful replication in #Toxoplasma #PLOSBiology plos.io/3BgjxaE

A new study in @PLOSBiology from our lab shows the role of the PP1 phosphatase in controlling the tachyzoite cell cycle and amylopectin storage in T. gondii. Kudos to the two PhD students involved: AS Khelifa and @be_maanasa !

Postdoc position available to work with me, in collaboration with Chris Lane @LaneLabURI, on Nephromyces, the closest non-parasitic, extracellular symbiont relatives of the blood parasites (Plasmodium et al). How did the business of blood parasitism start?

Ha! Rejoice with me - our paper got published! We developed a method to expand Toxoplasma cysts using ultrastructure expansion microscopy, so now you can do affordable super-resolution protein localisation on the chronic stage too!
