PF3D7_0414900 armadillo-domain containing rhoptry protein

Upper left: PfARO rhoptry membrane association. Nuclei stained with DAPI (blue). Enlargement of selected areas are marked with white square and referred as Zoom. Scale bar, 1 μm.

Lower right: The N-terminus of ARO is sufficient for rhoptry association and is palmitoylated. (A) Schematic representation of the minimal PfARO construct (20AROwt) encompassing the N-terminal 20 amino acids fused to GFP and its apical localization unfixed parasites (S, schizonts and M, merozoites). Nuclei stained with DAPI (blue). Enlargement of selected areas are marked with white square and referred as Zoom. Scale bar, 1 μm.
