PF3D7_0202000 knob-associated histidine-rich protein

PVM nutrient-permeable channel but not protein export is impaired in ΔEXP1 parasites. (A) IFA images of control and ΔEXP1 parasites (rapalog) probed with α-HA (EXP1*-HA) and α-KAHRP. Graph to the right shows quantification of export (n = 20 cells). ΔEXP1 parasites showed no defect in the export of knob-associated histidine-rich protein (KAHRP).
