RhopH proteins are deposited in the PV and exported via PTEX. IFA of 13F10 showing export of RhopH proteins after growth with or without TMP for 48 h. Colocalization with exported HRP2 or SBP1, as indicated. Scale bars, 5 μm. Export of RhopH2 and RhopH3 were both fully blocked in trophozoite-stage parasites grown for 48 h without TMP. Colocalization with HRP2, a parasite protein carrying the canonical PEXEL export signal showed both proteins trapped in the vacuole upon PTEX knockdown. CLAG3 export requires PTEX activity as TMP removal prevented its movement out of the PV (bottom row); colocalization with SBP1, another PTEX substrate.
