The Toxoplasma gondii virulence factors ROP5 and ROP18 both target immunity-related GTPases (IRGs) to evade immunity. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Etheridge et al. (2014) identify a third virulence factor, ROP17, which forms a complex and synergizes with ROP5/ROP18 to fully disable the IRG system of antiparasite defense.
弓形虫毒力因子ROP5和ROP18均靶向免疫相关GTP酶(IRGs)以逃避免疫。在本期《细胞宿主与微生物》中,埃瑟里奇等人(2014年)鉴定出第三种毒力因子ROP17,它形成一种复合物并与ROP5/ROP18协同作用,从而完全破坏抗寄生虫防御的IRG系统。
