Localization of PhIL1 interacting candidates (PIC) using endogenous GFP tagging
(A) PIC1 (PF3D7_1229300), (B) PIC2 (PF3D7_0822900), (C) PIC4
(PF3D7_0308300), (D) PIC3 (PF3D7_0415800), (E): PIC6 (PF3D7_0530300): 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 loci on the bottom. Ladder size indicated in base pairs (bp). gDNA from parental 3D7 was used as control. KI = knock-in. (F) Localization of PIC5-mCherry (PF3D7_1310700) fusion proteins episomally expressed under the control of the late-stage promoter ama1 in schizonts and free merozoites. Nuclei stained with Hoechst-33342 or DAPI. Zoom factor: 400%. Scale bar 2 μm.
