-
Since, alone of the IRG proteins assayed, Irgm1 has never been found at the parasitophorous vacuole, it is clear that this IRG protein is not directly involved in the observed vesiculation and disruption of the parasitophorous vacuole membrane.

-
To survive and evade host responses the parasite remodels the erythrocyte by exporting several hundred effector proteins beyond the surrounding parasitophorous vacuole membrane.

T. cruzi intracellular forms leave the parasitophorous vacuole of the host cell and remain free to divide in the cytoplasm during cell division minicircles are cleaved by topoisomerases and, T. cruzi minicircles, with four adenine - and cytosine-rich (AC-rich) CSBs

T. gondii, which has been most comprehensively documented, interest is focused on the unexplained ability of IRG proteins to cause disruption of the parasitophorous vacuole, resulting in the death of the parasite in the cytosol

During invasion and formation of the parasitophorous vacuole, the parasite modifies the host cytoskeleton through reorganization of intermediate filaments and capture of microtubule organization centers and forms associations with mitochondria and ER
-
In initial experiments, immunostaining localizes the enzyme to the parasite membrane and parasitophorous vacuole and there is no staining of rhoptries or dense granules (preliminary observations).
