    Int J Parasitol 42:1071-81. 2012
    ..Briefly, the relationship of this secretion machinery within the Apicomplexa will be discussed, compared with free-living and predatory alveolates, and how these might have evolved from a common ancestor...

    Tomasz Szatanek
    Department of Biology, Boston College, Chestnut Hill, MA 02467, USA
    Mol Microbiol 84:566-77. 2012
    ..Taken together, these results suggest that TgCactin acts as a pivotal protein potentially regulating gene expression at several transition points in parasite development...
  5. ncbi A Toxoplasma MORN1 null mutant undergoes repeated divisions but is defective in basal assembly, apicoplast division and cytokinesis
    Alexander Lorestani
    Department of Biology, Boston College, Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, United States of America
    PLoS ONE 5:e12302. 2010
    ..In conclusion, MORN1 is required for basal complex assembly and loss of MORN1 results in defects in apicoplast division and daughter segregation...
