Summary of IRG/GBP mediated control of Toxoplasma in different murine and human cell lines. For references see main text.

Mouse (MEF, macrophages, astrocytes)
Human epithelial A549 Human HAP1 (haploid fibroblastlike leukemia cell)
IRGs GBPs Toxoplasma virulence factors GBPs GBPs
Recruited to the PV or Toxoplasma Irgm2, Irgm3, Irga6, Irgb6, Irgd recruited to the PV •Gbp1, 2, 3, 5, 7 recruited to PV
•Gbp2 recruited to Toxoplasma
Combating GTPase recruitment:
ROP18 (type I/II)
ROP5 (type I/III)
GBP1 not recruited to PV GBP1–5 recruited to 8% PVs
Ability to control Toxoplasma Irgm1, Irgm3, Irga6, Irgd able to control Toxoplasma replication •Gbps on chromosome 3 in bulk (1, 2, 3, 5, 7) control Toxoplasma replication
•Gbp1 controls Toxoplasma replication
ROP16 (type I/III)
ROP17
GRA7
GBP1 controls on of type II, but not type I GBP1–5 do not control replication of type II
Enhancing GTPase recruitment:
GRA15 (type II)
