PF3D7_1209300 telomere repeat-binding zinc finger protein, putative

Co-localization of ectopic PF3D7_1209300-GFP and PfHP1 in trophozoites. The white frame refers to the magnified view in the rightmost image. DIC, differential interference contrast. Scale bar, 5 μm. Results are representative of three biological replicate experiments. IFAs demonstrated that an ectopically expressed green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged version of this factor localized to distinct spots at the nuclear periphery, in close proximity to the chromosome end marker PfHP1 (HP1, heterochromatin protein 1.
