PfClpC Inhibition Reduces Replication Rate and Apicoplast Integrity. PfClpC-DDD parasites were incubated for 10 days without TMP and then stained with antibodies against HA (red), ACP (green), and DAPI (blue). Both clones of PfClpC-DDD parasites are shown as indicated. Images from left to right are anti-HA (red), anti-ACP (green), DAPI (parasite nucleus, blue), fluorescence merge, and phase. Z stack images were deconvolved and projected as a combined single image. Scale bar, 5 mm. The canonical apicoplast morphology was lost, and we detected PfClpC, as well as the apicoplast resident protein ACP, in a punctate, vesicle-like pattern, suggesting that apicoplast integrity was compromised.
