PF3D7_1020900 ADP-ribosylation factor 1

Upper panel: Deletion of the stretch of basic residues at the N-terminus of PfAK2 alters the subcellular location of the protein. (A) The AK2Δ21-30/GFP was expressed using the CRT promoter (construct indicated above the images). Live cell imaging of the PfAK2Δ21-30/GFP parasite line in a late trophozoite stage parasite.

Lower panel: The PfAK2 N-terminus targets GFP to the outside of the parasite plasma membrane. (A) The AK21-37/GFP was expressed using the CRT

promoter (construct indicated above the images). Live cell imaging of the PfAK21-37/GFP in trophozoite and schizont stages, showed a location of the GFP signal similar to that of PfAK2/GFP. In the schizont stage of these parasites a clear signal for the fusion protein was visible around each of the individual

daughter merozoites.
