Additional remarks genetic modificationRON2 shows sequence homology with a proven rhoptry protein of Toxoplasma gondii (145.m00331; twinscan-0698; RON2). In T. gondii RON2 is localized specifically to the duct-like neck portion of the rhoptries, leading to the designation as rhoptry neck (RON) protein. Upon invasion of the host cell, T. gondii RON2 is associated with both the micronemal apical-membrane antigen 1 (AMA1) and RON4, and they localize to the moving junction that is formed upon invasion.

See RMgm-213 for a mutant expressing a cmyc-tagged RON2 protein. Phenotype analyses of this mutant indicate a rhoptry location of RON2 in merozoites and in sporozoites.
