Here, we investigated intravacuolar-network-associated dense granule (GRA) proteins GRA1, GRA2, GRA4, GRA6, GRA9, and GRA12 during cyst development <i>in vitro</i> after differentiation of the tachyzoite-stage parasitophorous vacuole. By day 1 postdifferentiation, GRA1, GRA4, GRA6, GRA9, and GRA12 colocalized with <i>Dolichos biflorus</i> agglutinin stain at the cyst periphery. In contrast, GRA2 remained in the cyst matrix. By day 2 postdifferentiation, coinciding with localization of GRA2 to the cyst periphery, GRA1, GRA4, GRA6, and GRA9 established a continuous matrix pattern in the cyst. In contrast, GRA2 and GRA12 were colocalized in prominent cyst matrix puncta throughout cyst development. While GRA2, GRA6, and GRA12 localized in outer and inner layers of the cyst wall, GRA1, GRA4, and GRA9 localized predominantly in the inner layers of the cyst wall. GRA2 and GRA12 were colocalized in the cyst wall by day 7 postdifferentiation. However, by day 10 postdifferentiation, GRA12 was relocalized from the cyst wall to puncta in the cyst matrix. Differentiation of Δ<i>gra2</i> parasites revealed a defect in the ability to establish a normal cyst matrix. In addition, the deletion of any intravacuolar-network-associated GRA protein, except GRA1, reduced the rate of accumulation of cyst wall proteins at the cyst periphery relative to the cyst interior.

If host immunity wanes, cysts reactivate to cause severe, and often lethal, toxoplasmic encephalitis. There is no available therapy to eliminate cysts or to prevent their reactivation.

Here, we visualized and tracked the localization of <i>Toxoplasma</i> intravacuolar-network-associated dense granule (GRA) proteins during cyst development <i>in vitro</i> Intravacuolar-network GRAs were present within the cyst matrix and at the cyst wall in developing cysts, and genetic deletion of intravacuolar-network-associated GRAs reduced the rate of accumulation of cyst wall material at the cyst periphery.
