PF3D7_0501300 skeleton-binding protein 1

Upper panel: PFD0495c is exported to the erythrocyte. (iii) fluorescence image of pfd0495c-gfp expressing parasites. Fluorescence image of pfd0495c-gfp expressing parasites (iv) fluorescence and DIC image showing export of

PDF0495c chimera to the erythrocyte (e) periphery (arrow) and

intraerythrocytic spots (arrowhead).

Lower panel: PFD0495c is found within intraerythrocytic structures. 3D7 early schizonts were fixed and probed with antibodies to PFD0495c (i) and Skeleton Binding Protein (SBP1; ii) for immunofluorescence. Endogenous PFD0495c is found associated with the parasite and within intraerythrocytic structures, vesicular (arrowhead) and tubular (arrow) structures, distinct from Maurer’s Clefts (iii).
