Abstract

hydroxylases, but contains a unique N-terminal extension with a signal sequence motif. One of the genes, TgAaaH1, is
constitutivelyexpressedwhiletheothergene,TgAaaH2,isinducedduringformationofthebradyzoitesofthecyststagesof
the life cycle. This is the first description of an aromatic amino acid hydroxylase in an apicomplexan parasite. Extensive
searching of apicomplexan genome sequences revealed an ortholog in Neospora caninum but not in Eimeria,
Cryptosporidium, Theileria, or Plasmodium. Possible role(s) of these bi-functional enzymes during host infection are
discussed.
