PF3D7_1233000 elongation factor G

Synchronised ring-stage parasites expressing RFP targeted to the apicoplast (red) and YFP targeted to the mitochondria (green) . The nuclei were stained with Hoescht 33342 (blue) and viewed by confocal laser microscopy.

PFL1590c is a nucleus-encoded mitochondrial-targeted EF-G protein involved in P. falciparum mitochondrial translation. PFF0115c is a nucleus-encoded apicoplast-targeted EF-G protein involved in P. falciparum apicoplast translation.
