Phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate is found at the Golgi apparatus throughout the Plasmodium falciparum erythrocytic cycle. (A) The PHFAPP-3HA sensor
colocalises extensively with the Golgi marker Endoplasmic reticulum Retention Defective protein 2 (ERD2) in rings (a), trophozoites (Troph) (b), schizonts (Schiz) (c) and free merozoites (Mero) (d). Colocalisation experiments revealed that PHFAPP-3HA overlapped extensively with Golgi ERD2 throughout the erythrocytic cycle. IFAs performed with antibodies to Apical membrane antigen 1 (AMA1) and Erythrocyte binding antigen 175 (EBA175), markers of two different micronemal populations, failed to show any strong overlap with PHFAPP-3HA (Ca,b)
