PF3D7_1332000 syntaxin, Qa-SNARE family

Subcellular localization of GFP-PfSyn5p. The GFP-expressing parasites were fixed and stained with anti-PfERD2 or anti-PfBip antibodies. As indicated by blue arrowheads, the fusion protein GFP-PfSyn5p (green) co-localizes with the cis-Golgi marker PfERD2 (red, panel a) and with the ER marker PfBip (red, panel b). The inserted red arrows show GFP fluorescence in locations different from cis-Golgi or ER compartments.
