PfLPLAT1 colocalizes with endoplasmic reticulum throughout the all-asexual stage. Left panel: representative confocal microscope images of parasites co-stained with PfLPLAT1 and ER-resident protein BiP. Samples were stained for nuclei with DAPI (blue), PfLPLAT1 with anti-HA antibody (green), and ER with anti-BiP antibody (red). Scale bars = 2 μm. Right panel: signal profiles of anti-HA (green) and anti-BiP (red) on white arrows in the overlays. Pearson’s r values were calculated using overlays of anti-HA and anti-BiP signal intensities to show the overlapping degree of both signals.
