  • RON4 did not colocalize with ROP1 and appeared to show rhoptry neck localization, apical to and quite distinct from ROP1 rhoptry bulb localization.

  • This drug specifically blocked rhoptry secretion but not microneme secretion, thus effectively showing that the two processes can be de-coupled.

  • Toxoplasma early invasion, in general, and rhoptry secretion, in particular.

  • Although a number of rhoptry proteins have been shown to be involved in important interactions with the host cell, very little is known about the mechanism of secretion of any

  • The fact that these parasites were still blocked in early invasion and rhoptry secretion, however, argues that the mutations were likely in a drug target unrelated to invasion and secretion.

  • Sets of kinases and proteases were found that may be secreted or organellar (e.g. rhoptry, micronemal), although their specific annotation is complicated by their membership in large gene families.
