The Rab11-family interacting proteins reveal selective interaction of mammalian recycling endosomes with the Toxoplasma parasitophorous vacuole in a Rab11- and Arf6-dependent manner.

ABSTRACT: After mammalian cell invasion, the parasite Toxoplasma multiplies in a self-made membrane-bound compartment, the parasitophorous vacuole (PV). We previously showed that Toxoplasma interacts with many host cell organelles, especially from recycling pathways, and sequestrates Rab11A and Rab11B vesicles into the PV. Here, we examine the specificity of host Rab11 vesicle interaction with the PV by focusing on the recruitment of subpopulations of Rab11 vesicles characterized by different effectors, for example, Rab11-family interacting roteins (FIPs) or Arf6. Our quantitative microscopic analysis illustrates the presence of intra-PV vesicles with FIPs from class I (FIP1C, FIP2, FIP5) and class II (FIP3, FIP4) but to various degrees. The intra-PV delivery of vesicles with class I,
