PF3D7_0320900 H2A.Z

Nuclear localization of PfH2A.ZGFP. Confocal microscopy of PfH2A.ZGFP parasites at the (A) merozoite, (B) ring, (C) trophozoite and (D) schizont stage. Blue: DNA stained with DAPI. Green: PfH2A.ZGFP. Overlays in the lower panels in each picture demonstrate the nuclear localization of PfH2A.ZGFP. The transgenic P. falciparum ectopically expressing PfH2A.Z-GFP fusion proteins corroborated the sub-nuclear distribution of PfH2A.Z.
