#Plasmodium #parasites have a pair of organelles called rhoptries, made anew every replicative cycle. @davidanaguano @MuralidharanLab &co show that RON11 triggers biogenesis of the second #rhoptry and is important for #erythrocyte invasion #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3XQeiqY

Secretion of #rhoptry factors is essential for invasion by #Apicomplexan #parasites. @RouaaBc @gaelle_lentini @SoldatiLabToxo &co identify #Toxoplasma RDF3 as crucial for invasion, priming microtubule-associated vesicles for rhoptry discharge #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3Z4bbNx

A conserved complex of microneme proteins mediates rhoptry discharge in #Toxoplasma:
Sebastian Lourido and coworkers show that three #apicomplexan-specific #microneme proteins form a complex essential for #rhoptry discharge and invasion
