PfEMP1 PfEMP1

Effect of PTEX88 knockdown on P. falciparum protein export. Immunofluorescence assays showing that exported proteins A: RESA, B: STEVOR, C: SBP1, D: KAHRP, E: RIF50, F: PfEMP1 are still exported after knockdown of PTEX88. RESA (an early expressed PEXEL protein), STEVOR (a PEXEL protein containing transmembrane domains), skeleton binding protein 1 (SBP1; a PNEP), KAHRP (a soluble PEXEL protein), RIF50 (a PEXEL protein containing transmembrane domains) and PfEMP1 (a PNEP containing a transmembrane domain that is exported to the erythrocyte surface.
