Cell Host Microbe 5 (2009) 353-364. Aldolase was reported to bridge host cell receptors to the parasite actin filaments via interaction with adhesins. In this study, the authors generated a conditional KO of TgALD and in a series of complementation experiments using aldolase mutants affected either in enzyme activity or in binding to MIC2, they established the dual essential role of aldolase in energy production and host cell invasion.
