Very excited to see this out in press. An effort led by @saimamaysidik and Dylan Valleau to understand the function of the CLAMP complex in apicomplexan parasites!.
A conserved complex of microneme proteins mediates rhoptry discharge in #Toxoplasma:.@LouridoLab @WhiteheadInst @MITBiology show that three #apicomplexan-specific #microneme proteins form a complex essential for #rhoptry discharge and invasion.

Science friends, has anyone encountered instability or toxicity from NanoLuc-containing plasmids in E. coli?. The troublesome plasmids are not supposed to express NanoLuc in bacteria, but even if they did, there are no intrinsically toxic sequences associated with its ORF.

So excited to see this out in press! Congratulation to you and your lab @ClareHardingLab!.
My first senior author paper, and @AghabiDana first first author paper is now out at @NatureComms! She has all of the details (including what changed since the preprint), but thank you to everyone who helped with this paper, its been great!.
