Localization of PhIL1 interacting candidates (PIC) using endogenous GFP tagging. (a) PIC1 (b) PIC2 (c) PIC4 (d) PIC3, (e): PIC6. On top a schematic representation of the protein (protein length indicated as number of amino acids) with putative protein domains (blue, transmembrane domain; green, signal peptide; red, Zinc Finger domain (ZFD) or RBD (RNA binding domain). Localization of PIC-GFP fusion proteins in schizonts and free merozoites are shown in the middle panel, the PCR-based confirmations of the correct insertion of GFP-encoding integration plasmid into the targeted locion the bottom. Ladder size indicated in base pairs (bp). gDNA from parental 3D7 was used as control. (f) Localization of PIC5-mCherry fusion proteins episomally expressed under the control of the late-stage promoterama1in schizonts and free merozoites. Nuclei stained with Hoechst-33,342 or DAPI. Zoom factor: 400%. Scale bar 2μm.
