PF3D7_0517300 serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 1

Induction of PfSR1 expression using the DDD system. Immuno-fluorescence assay (IFA) of PfSR1-GFP-DDD expressing parasites growing on 5 μM TMP showing the cellular localization of the induced PfSR1-GFP throughout the IDC. Tagged PfSR1 was detected using anti-GFP antibody. PfSR1 is shown in green; nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). in early ring stages PfSR1-GFP-DDD localizes to the nucleus in foci that are mainly located at the nuclear periphery. This pattern changes later in the IDC at the trophozoite and schizont stages, when PfSR1-GFP-DDD can be detected in both the nucleus and in the cytoplasm .
