Figure 3. Traffic of HCNCp And Cyst Proteins During Growth And Differentiation.

Figure 3

Differential interference contrast (DIC) merged with DAPI images are shown to the left of each panel, HCNCp in green, anti-cyst proteins in red, and nucleic acid in blue (DAPI).

In trophozoites, HCNCp localized to nuclei and nuclear envelope/ER.

During encystation HCNCp co-localized with cyst proteins in encystation secretory vesicles (ESV) and to the cyst wall of water-resistant cysts.

In mature cysts, most of the HCNCp was within the cell body.

Scale bar is 5 µM.
