Abstract

Apicomplexan parasites mobilize ionic calcium (Ca) from intracellular stores to promote microneme secretion and facilitate motile processes including gliding motility, invasion, and egress. Recently, a multipass transmembrane protein, ICM1, was found to be mportant for alcium obilization in and . Comparative genomics and phylogenetics have revealed putative ICM orthologs in and other apicomplexans. possesses two ICM-like proteins, which we have named TgICM1-L (TGGT1_305470) and TgICM2-L (TGGT1_309910). TgICM1-L and TgICM2-L localized to undefined puncta within the parasite cytosol. TgICM1-L and TgICM2-L are individually dispensable in tachyzoites, suggesting a potential compensatory relationship between the two proteins may exist. Surprisingly, mutants lacking both TgICM1-L and TgICM2-L are fully viable, exhibiting no obvious defects in growth, microneme secretion, invasion, or egress. Furthermore, loss of TgICM1-L, TgICM2-L, or both does not impair the parasite's ability to mobilize Ca. These findings suggest that additional proteins may participate in Ca mobilization or import in Apicomplexa, reducing the dependence on ICM-like proteins in . Collectively, these results highlight similar yet distinct mechanisms of Ca mobilization between and .IMPORTANCECa signaling plays a crucial role in governing apicomplexan motility; yet, the mechanisms underlying Ca mobilization from intracellular stores in these parasites remain unclear. In , the necessity of ICM1 for Ca mobilization raises the question of whether this mechanism is conserved in other apicomplexans. Investigation into the orthologs of ICM1 in revealed a differing requirement for ICM proteins between the two parasites. This study suggests that employs ICM-independent mechanisms to regulate Ca homeostasis and mobilization. Proteins involved in Ca signaling in apicomplexans represent promising targets for therapeutic development.
