PF3D7_0402200 surface-associated interspersed protein 4.1 (SURFIN 4.1), pseudogene

Subcellular localization of rSURFIN4.1 Full (3D7A) in P. falciparum-infected red blood cells. Representative fluorescence images showing the localization of rSURFIN4.1 The differential interference contrast (DIC), fluorescence image with mouse anti-Ty antibody (α-Ty, reacts with Surfin4.1), Maurer’s clefts location with rabbit anti-SBP1 antibody (α-SBP1), and merged image with nucleus staining with DAPI (Merge) are shown. rSURFIN4.1 exhibits a dotted fluorescence pattern within the red blood cell cytosol, co-localized with PfSBP1. Bar = 5 μm.

Zhu X, Yahata K, Alexandre JS, Tsuboi T, Kaneko O. The N-terminal segment of Plasmodium falciparum SURFIN(4.1) is required for its trafficking to the red blood cell cytosol through the endoplasmic reticulum. Parasitol Int. 2013 62(2):215-29
