Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan pathogen in the phylum Apicomplexa that resides within an intracellular parasitophorous vacuole (PV) that is selectively permeable to small molecules through unidentified mechanisms. We have identified GRA17 as a Toxoplasma-secreted protein that localizes to the parasitophorous vacuole membrane (PVM) and mediates passive transport of small molecules across the PVM. GRA17 is related to the putative Plasmodium translocon protein EXP2 and conserved across PV-residing Apicomplexa. The PVs of GRA17-deficient parasites have aberrant morphology, reduced permeability to small molecules, and structural instability. GRA17-deficient parasites proliferate slowly and are avirulent in mice. These GRA17-deficient phenotypes are rescued by complementation with Plasmodium EXP2. GRA17 functions synergistically with a related protein, GRA23. Exogenous expression of GRA17 or GRA23 alters the membrane conductance properties of Xenopus oocytes in a manner consistent with a large non-selective pore. Thus, GRA17 and GRA23 provide a molecular basis for PVM permeability and nutrient access. Display omitted •GRA17 and GRA23 are secreted proteins unique to PV-residing apicomplexans•GRA17 affects the transfer of small molecules through the PV and in vivo virulence•The GRA17 loss-of-function phenotypes can be rescued by Plasmodium EXP2•GRA17 or GRA23 expression alters the membrane conductance of Xenopus oocytes Toxoplasma gondii resides within an intracellular parasitophorous vacuole (PV) selectively permeable to small molecules. Gold et al. identify GRA17 and GRA23 as secreted Toxoplasma proteins that mediate the passage of small molecules between the host cytoplasm and PV, providing a molecular explanation for how these vacuole-residing parasites access host nutrients.
