PF3D7_0803700 tubulin gamma chain

Live-cell imaging of microtubule and centriolar plaque reorganization throughout schizogony. (A) Schematic of P. falciparum blood-stage development including multiple divisions (schizogony) before cytokinesis and egress of new infectious parasites. (B) Deconvolved confocal live-cell still images of two separate Plasmodium NF54 infected red blood cells ectopically expressing PfCentrin1-GFP (green), labeled with SPY555-Tubulin (magenta) and 5-Sir-Hoechst (blue). The images are maximum intensity projections. (C) Time-lapse of a cell labeled as in (B), but without 5-Sir-Hoechst. The first spindle formation and elongation in a single parasite is shown over time.
