PfMORN1 is a member of the Plasmodium basal complex. Airyscan superresolution microscopy of PfMORN1 throughout segmentation. The basal complex forms as a ring in the apical pole of the segmenting daughter cell. The complex progresses as a ring down the length of the daughter cell before converging to form punctate dots at the basal pole of the fully segmented daughter cell. Bars, 1 mm. To study the localization of PfMORN1, we fused a spaghetti monster V5 (SmV5) (30) epitope tag to the carboxy terminus of PfMORN1 at the endogenous locus
