PF3D7_1225100 isoleucine--tRNA ligase, putative

Targeting of P. falciparum aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase and of DTD. The parasite line used was GFP-tagged (strain D10 ACPleader-GFP) where apicoplast fluorescence is in green. DAPI staining is in blue while aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are stained with Alexa594 (red). only the late ring and early trophozoite-stage localizations are depicted here but patterns were identical in other intra-erythrocytic stages. All tRNA synthases were cytoplasmic except PFL1210w Ile which is seen located in the apicoplast and deacylase which is mitochondrial.
