PF3D7_1105500 centrin-4

PfCen1-4 localize to centriolar plaque and can display liquid-like dynamics. (A) Schematic of nuclear and cell division during asexual blood stage

schizogony (B) Schematic of PfCen1-4 and HsCen2 indicating reported post-translational modifications and EFh domains. (C) Immunofluorescence staining of tubulin and PfCen1-4-GFP in parasite strains. All images are maximum intensity projections (MIP). DNA stained with Hoechst. Scale bars; confocal, 1 μm, STED, 100 nm. (D-E) STED time lapse of centriolar plaque region of parasites expressing PfCen1-Halo labeled with MaP-SiR-Halo dye. DNA stained with SPY505-DNA. Scale bar, 100 nm.
