Functional Analysis of Rhomboid Proteases during <italic toggle="yes">Toxoplasma</italic> Invasion
ABSTRACT Host cell invasion by Toxoplasma gondii and other apicomplexan parasites requires transmembrane adhesins that mediate binding to receptors on the substrate and host cell to facilitate motility and invasion. Rhomboid proteases (ROMs) are thought to cleave adhesins within their transmembrane...
