Distinct subcellular localization of PfSUMO conjugated proteins.
A. Co-localization assays of PfSUMO antiserum with nuclear marker PfSir2, cytoplasmic marker, PfHsp70-1 and Maurer's clefts marker, Pf332 reveal compartmentalization. Size bar corresponds to 1 μm.
B. Schematic. Underlined compartments have been shown to react with anti-PfSUMO antibodies. In the nucleus, PfSir2 has been identified, in this work, as the first putative SUMO target in P. falciparum.
