PF3D7_0307400 ATP-dependent Clp protease proteolytic subunit

F. Fluorescent microscopic images of live transgenic parasites at trophozoite, early-schizont and late-schizont stages, expressing

PfClpP-N–GFP fusion protein. The parasite nuclei were stained with DAPI and slides were visualized by fluorescence microscope.

G. Fluorescent microscopic images of transgenic parasites co-stained for mitochondria (Mt) showing GFP fluorescence pattern in close association but distinct from mitochondrial staining.
