(C) and confocal and (D) localization of PfGSK3-GFP in late trophozoites (LT) schizonts (S) and merozoites (M) revealed perinuclear and cytosolic distribution. Nuclei are stained with DAPI (blue). localization studies indicate that the kinase localizes in nuclear or perinuclear compartments as well as in the cytosol in erythrocytic stages of the parasite.
