Autophagic Punctum

Role of ATG3 in the parasite Toxoplasma gondii

Autophagy in an early branching eukaryote

Pages 435-437 | Received 02 Jan 2012, Accepted 08 Jan 2012, Published online: 24 Feb 2012

Figures & data

Figure 1. Schematic representation of the T. gondii lytic cycle. Squared text indicates different steps in the cycle. Text in black boxes describes putative roles for autophagy during distinctive phases of the cycle. The inset describes the mode of parasite replication called endodyogeny, with two daughter parasites developing inside a mother cell. During this process, some organelles are synthesiszed de novo (i.e., apical organelles), while others are replicated (i.e., nucleus, mitochondrion).
