The Biogeography of Apicomplexan Parasites in Tropical Soils [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Parasitic protists such as Apicomplexa, an abundant group of soil protists, contribute to ecosystem processes and nutrient cycling in belowground soil systems through their obligate symbioses with soil Metazoa.

Previously Unidentified Histone H1-Like Protein Is Involved in Cell Division and Ribosome Biosynthesis in Toxoplasma gondii

mSphere, 2022
Chromatin dynamics can regulate all DNA-dependent processes. Access to DNA within chromatin is orchestrated mainly by histones and their posttranslational modifications (PTMs).

NAD(P) transhydrogenase isoform distribution provides insight into apicomplexan evolution

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Membrane-located NAD(P) transhydrogenase (NTH) catalyses reversible hydride ion transfer between NAD(H) and NADP(H), simultaneously translocating a proton across the membrane. The enzyme is structurally conserved across prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Eimeria leuckarti (Eimeriidae, Coccidia, Apicomplexa) infecting domestic horses (Equus ferus caballus)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
The complete mitochondrial genome of Eimeria leuckarti (Eimeriidae, Coccidia, Apicomplexa) was obtained. This morphologically distinctive coccidium is considered to be the only valid Eimeria species of equids and it infects a range of both domestic and ...
