In situ ultrastructures of two evolutionarily distant apicomplexan rhoptry secretion systems
The rhoptry is an apical secretory organelle of apicomplexan parasites that is essential for host cell invasion. Here, Mageswaran et al. provide in situ ultrastructures of rhoptries from two pathogens, revealing a conserved architecture including luminal filaments and a distinct docking mechanism.
