The toxoplasma Acto-MyoA motor complex is important but not essential for gliding motility and host cell invasion
Apicomplexan parasites are thought to actively invade the host cell by gliding motility. This movement is powered by the parasite's own actomyosin system, and depends on the regulated polymerisation and depolymerisation of actin to generate the force for gliding and host cell penetration. Recen...
