Figure 5. Alignment of DiCo protein sequences (aa25-545) with those of AMA1 present in GIA malaria parasites.

Figure 5

AMA1 protein sequences of malaria parasites used for in vitro growth inhibition assays were accessed from the GenBank database. The DiCo sequences contain point mutations at the cleavage (K376R, indicated in orange) and potential N-glycosylation (N162Q, T288V, S373D, N422D, S423K, N499Q) sites (indicated in red), and differ from parasite AMA1 sequences at these sites. Amino acids at 51 polymorphic sites (within aa25-525) also differ between sequences.
