Apicomplexan parasites employ an unusual mechanism for cell replication, assembling daughters within the mother. Because rapid multiplication correlates with pathogenesis, it is important to...

Most species of the protozoan phylum Apicomplexa harbor an endosymbiotic organelle—the apicoplast— acquired when an ancestral parasite engulfed a eukaryotic plastid-containing alga. Several...
SNAIL SPEARS AND SCIMITARS: A CHARACTER ANALYSIS OF CONUS RADULAR TEETH (1999)
KOHN, ALAN J., NISHI, MANAMI, PERNET, BRUNO
Knowledge of the attributes of the venom-injecting radular teeth of Conus can enhance understanding of the functional biology of feeding and the systematics of this large and taxonomically difficult...
RADULAR TEETH OF INDO-PACIFIC MOLLUSCIVOROUS SPECIES OF CONUS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS (1999)
Species determination in the gastropod genus Conus, heretofore exclusively based on shell morphology and color pattern, has led to considerable uncertainty and disagreement. We propose that...

Most species of the protozoan phylum Apicomplexa harbor an endosymbiotic organelle—the apicoplast—acquired when an ancestral parasite engulfed a eukaryotic plastid-containing alga. Several...
Dynamics of Toxoplasma gondii Differentiation†
Dzierszinski, Florence, Nishi, Manami, Ouko, Lillian, Roos, David S.
Parasite differentiation is commonly associated with transitions between complex life cycle stages and with long-term persistence in the host, and it is therefore critical for pathogenesis. In the...

We previously reported a cytosolic pyruvate kinase (EC 2.7.1.40) from Toxoplasma gondii (TgPyKI) that differs from most eukaryotic pyruvate kinases in being regulated by glucose 6-phosphate rather...
