Description:
Article Apicomplexan parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium form a tight, moving junction with host cells before invading them. Here the authors show that the proteins AMA1 and RON2 of T. gondii cooperate during junction formation and identify additional proteins that have a role in this process.
