Involvement of Urm1, a Ubiquitin-Like Protein, in the Regulation of Oxidative Stress Response of Toxoplasma gondii

Abstract

T. gondii has an intricate life cycle which involves multiple morphologically and physiologically distinct stages, and posttranslational modifications (PTMs) may be key regulators of protein expression at relevant life cycle stages. In recent years, ubiquitin-like proteins with modification functions have been discovered and studied, including Sumo, Rub1, ATG8, and ATG12.
