PF3D7_1426200 protein arginine N-methyltransferase 1

Orientation of DMT1 homologs in the FV membrane. Live-parasite fluorescence microscopy and proposed membrane topology of PfDMT1 (A) and yeast Smf3 (B). The intensity plots depict the normalized GFP fluorescence as a function of distance along the white line. The scissors in panel B represent FV proteases expected to cleave off a C-terminal GFP tag.
