PF3D7_1218300 AP-2 complex subunit mu

Localization of AP-2μ-2xFKBPP-GFP and ER-marker PDI by immunoelectron microscopy. Electron micrograph of typical vesicular colocalization of AP-2μ-2xFKBP-GFP (18 nm gold particles) and PDI (12 nm gold particles) in developing trophozoites. N, nucleus; ER, endoplasmic reticulum; FV, food vacuole; H, hemozoin; black arrow, AP-2μ at the plasma membrane; empty arrow, AP-2μ in vesicles; white-outlined arrows, AP-2μ in the cytosol; white arrows, AP-2μ at the ER. At least some cytosolic AP-2 μ-positive vesicles also contained Rab5B, an effector of endosome-like transport between the plasma membrane and the FV. Parasites expressing AP-2μ -2xFKBP-GFP showed a similar localization

and distribution by immuno-EM.
