PF3D7_1320000 rhoptry protein 2, putative golgi protein 1

PfPRP2-RFA is constitutively expressed throughout the erythrocytic cycle. Dynamics of the localization of PfPRP2-RFA throughout the asexual stages. In ring stage parasites, a single dot of

fluorescence is seen close to the nucleus In trophozoites, the dot starts to multiply, prior to nuclear division. Multiplication of the PfPRP2-RFA signal continues once nuclear division is undertaken . In free merozoites, each parasite inherits one locus of PfPRP2-RFA fluorescence . The

fluorescence of PfPRP2-RFA is pseudo-colored in green and the nuclei of parasites were stained with DAPI (blue). Scale bar represents 5μm. Troph: trophozoite; E. schiz: early schizont; Schiz: schizont; Mero: merozoite.
