PF3D7_0903700 alpha tubulin 1

Immunofluorescence images show PfTPxGl, microtubules, ACP-GFP, PfACP and PfEMP1 trafficking in vinblastine-treated D10-ACPleader-GFP parasites. (A) PfTPxGl, microtubules, ACP-GFP, PfACP and PfEMP1 localization in solvent control parasites, (B) PfTPxGl, microtubules, ACP-GFP, PfACP and PfEMP1 localization in vinblastine treated parasites. In these experiments, targeting to the apicoplast was inhibited in 94% of the parasites with vinblastine treatment (33 parasites counted) while an arrest of PfEMP1 was observed in 97% of the parasites (134 parasites counted). Scale Bar: 10 mm.
