PF3D7_1364300 pre-mRNA-splicing factor ATP-dependent RNA helicase PRP16

N-terminal domain of the PfPrp16p targets the protein to the nucleus. (A) Schematic representation of the PfPrp16-GFP chimeric constructs. Predicted nuclear localization sequence, “KRRK,” is shown as a black box at 41st–44th amino acid position. (B and C) Immunofluorescence assay based localization of the chimeric GFP proteins at (B) trophozoite and (C) schizont stages respectively. Anti-GFP (red, 1:200 dilution) and anti-PfTSN (green, 1:100 dilution) antibodies were used on thin blood smears of parasite lines. PfPrp16.1-40-GFP and PfPrp16.81-last-GFP chimeric proteins do not localize with the nuclear marker PfTSN protein in either of the developmental stages, whereas chimeric protein PfPrp16.1-80-GFP was trafficked to the nucleus in trophozoite and schizont stages.
