Rhomboid-like proteins in Apicomplexa: phylogeny and nomenclature
Trends in Parasitology, 2005 Rhomboids form a family of polytopic intramembrane serine proteases. In Toxoplasma gondii, an essential activity called microneme protein protease 1 (MPP1) cleaves secreted adhesive proteins within their transmembrane domains, at a site conserved in similar proteins of other Apicomplexa.

Conoid extrusion regulates glideosome assembly to control motility and invasion in Apicomplexa
Nature Microbiology, 2022 Members of Apicomplexa are defined by apical cytoskeletal structures and secretory organelles, tailored for motility, invasion and egress. Gliding is powered by actomyosin-dependent rearward translocation of apically secreted transmembrane adhesins.

How Apicomplexa Parasites Secrete and Build Their Invasion Machinery.
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2022 Apicomplexa are obligatory intracellular parasites that sense and actively invade host cells. Invasion is a conserved process that relies on the timely and spatially controlled exocytosis of unique specialized secretory organelles termed micronemes and ...
