PF3D7_1026900 biotin-protein ligase 1

The promiscuous biotin ligase BirA* biotinylates proteins in the P. falciparum apicoplast and ER. (B) Fixed-cell imaging of BioID±Ap and BioID±ER parasites stained with antibodies raised against the apicoplast marker ACP or the ER marker BiP, respectively. Scale bars, 5 μm. (D) Fixed-cell imaging of biotinylated proteins in biotin-labeled BioID±Ap and BioID±ER parasites. Scale bars, 5 μm. Immunofluorescence colocalization and live imaging of these parasites confirmed GFP±BirA* localization to either the apicoplast or the ER,
