Localization and function of a PV6 K64A mutant. Immunofluorescence assays of parasites expressing wild-type PV6 or wild-type PV6 plus PV6 K64A. The PVM was visualized with an anti-EXP1 antibody. PV6 was detected in the erythrocyte cytosol only in erythrocytes infected with parasites expressing the PV6 K64A mutant. The scale bar represents 5 µm.
