Subcellular localization of PfPRL. Micrographs represent the co-staining profiles of PfPRL with the Golgi marker PfErd2 (A), the ER marker PfBip (B), and the rhoptry/micronemal protein PfAMA-1 (C). Synchronous 3D7 parasite cultures were probed with purified rabbit anti-PfPRL in combination with antibodies to the compartmental markers. Binding of primary antibodies was detected using Alexa-Fluor 488 conjugated antibodies (organellar markers) and Alexa-Fluor 555-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG (PfPRL). Panel I is differential interference contrast image, panel II is fluorescence due to Alexa-Fluor 488 (green), panel III fluorescence due to Alexa-Fluor 555 (red), while panel IV is a merge of the first three panels. Yellow spots indicate overlap between PfPRL and the respective organellar marker, while blue arrows indicate food PfPRL-associated sites in the digestive vacuole.
