Gliding Motility: The Molecules behind the Motion

Gliding Motility: The Molecules behind the Motion

In apicomplexan parasites, gliding motility and host cell invasion are driven by an actomyosin-based system. Recent studies have characterized several components of the gliding motility apparatus and have provided new insight into the molecular architecture of this locomotory system.
