Plasma membrane-located purine nucleotide transport proteins are key components for host exploitation by microsporidian intracellular parasites.
Microsporidia are obligate intracellular parasites of most animal groups including humans, but despite their significant economic and medical importance there are major gaps in our understanding of how they exploit infected host cells. We have investigated the evolution, cellular locations and subst...
