Ubiquitylation proteins localize to the apicoplast in Plasmodium falciparum. Immunofluorescence assays detecting the respective ubiquitylation factor

indicated (white lettering) in the left-most panel. Proteins were detected by tagging with an HA or GFP epitope in the genomic locus (C, D), by ectopic fusion with partial coding sequence (E), or by using an antibody raised again recombinant protein (C). Staining for the apicoplast markers Cpn60 and ACP is shown in the second lane. Merged images also show DAPI staining for P. falciparum
