Toxoplasma gondii F-actin forms an extensive filamentous network required for material exchange and parasite maturation

Apicomplexan actin is important during the parasite's life cycle. Its polymerization kinetics are unusual, permitting only short, unstable F-actin filaments. It has not been possible to study actin in vivo and so its physiological roles have remained obscure, leading to models distinct from con...
