(D) ABCI3 foci localize to punctate structures in the parasite cytosol and occasionally with the nucleus, ER, or DV (Table S8). ABCI3 FLAG-tagged parasites were stained with DAPI (4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) (nucleus, blue) and antibodies specific to FLAG (green), PfCRT (DV membrane, red), and BiP (ER, magenta). Scale bars, 2 μm.

(E) IEM image of an HA-tagged ABCI3 trophozoite stained with anti-HA antibodies, revealing staining in the cytosol, nucleus, nuclear membrane, and ER. Arrowheads highlight organelles of interest. C, cytosol; ER, endoplasmic reticulum; N, nucleus; NM, nuclear membrane; Hz, hemozoin crystals. Scale bar, 500 nm.
