Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 7. The UFMylation pathway contributes to Toxoplasma virulence (A) Rank-ordered plots for in vivo fitness scores from the endomembrane-nucleus sublibrary (left) and the metabolism sublibrary (right). UFMylation-related genes are marked in red. Error bars (gray) represent SEM. (B) Fitness scores of the UFMylation-related genes in Vero cells (in vitro), WT mice (WT), and Ifngr1/ mice (KO) are shown as box plots. Each dot represents fitness scores for individual gRNAs. ***p < 0.001; *p < 0.05 (Wilcoxon rank-sum test). (C) The conserved C-terminal amino acid sequences of the UFM1 homologs from indicated apicomplexan (blue) and model organisms (black). The conserved glycine residue is shown by the arrow. (D) Survival curves of WT mice with intra-footpad infection of 103 tachyzoites of WT (n = 10), DUFM1 (n = 6), DUFM1 + UFM1 (WT) (n = 7), and DUFM1 + UFM1 (G87A) (n = 7). ***p < 0.001; N.S., not significant (log-rank test). (E) Complementations of FLAG-tagged WT and G87A UFM1 protein in DUFM1 parasites. (F) Survival curves of WT (n = 10) or Ifngr1/ (n = 9) mice with intra-footpad infection of 103 tachyzoites of DUFM1 parasites. ***p < 0.001 (log-rank test). See also Figure S6.
