ZFT is the major iron and zinc transporter in Toxoplasma gondii
Transition metals, such as iron and zinc, are indispensable trace elements for eukaryotic life, acting as co-factors in essential processes ranging from respiration and metabolism to DNA replication. ...

Iron-mediated post-transcriptional regulation in Toxoplasma gondii
Author summary Although iron is essential for most cells, excess can be toxic, so uptake and storage must be carefully controlled. The ability to respond to iron is particularly important for parasite...

Remember learning that ribosomes are made of 1 large subunit RNA + 1 small subunit RNA?
Well, some cells defy this rule, and the most extreme case is Toxoplasma which makes its mitoribosome from >50 RNA pieces!
Wanna know how? Read below
