PF3D7_1471100 exported protein 2

EXP1 localizes to PVM domains with PTEX. Parasites were fixed at <15 min, 60–90 min and 20–21 h after invasion and labelled by IFA for EXP1 (red), EXP2 (green) and the nucleus (40,6–diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), blue). (a) Imaging of all samples by widefield deconvolution microscopy (scale bar, 1 mm). when EXP2 localization was compared with that of a DRM-enriched protein, the exported protein 1 (EXP1), clear co-incidence of fluorescence was seen using widefield deconvolution microscopy of parasites fixed <15 min, 60–90 min and 20-21 h post invasion, although EXP1 appeared to become more widely distributed around the PVM in the latter sample.
