Upper panel: Subcellular localization of PfTopoIII. (C and D) Fluorescence microscopy shows the expression of PfTopoIII-GFP at the late schizont stage. Parasite nucleus was stained with DAPI (blue) while parasite mitochondria were stained with MitoTracker Red (red). Lower panel: PftopoIII(Δ259–337) shows poor association with mtDNA. (C and D) Fluorescence microscopic images show the localization of PftopoIII(Δ259–337)-GFP. Parasite nucleus was stained with DAPI (blue) and parasite mitochondria were stained with MitoTracker Red (red).
