PfDOZI::GFP localizes to the cytosolic granules in asexual and sexual blood-stage parasites. a, b Representative live images of the PfDOZI::GFP parasites in asexual erythrocytic stages a and b stage II–V gametocytes. R, ring; ET, early trophozoite; LT, late trophozoite; S, schizont. Nuclei were counter-stained with DAPI. The numbers indicate the co-localization correlation coefficient between the GFP and DAPI fluorescence signals. Scale bar = 2 μm. c, d Co-localization of PfDOZIMin H, Liang X, Wang C, Qin J, Boonhok R, Muneer A, Brashear AM, Li X, Minns AM, Adapa SR, Jiang RHY, Ning G, Cao Y, Lindner SE, Miao J, Cui L.
