Fluorescence labelling of yeast strains. (a) Wild-type yeast transformed with plasmids expressing Venus (yellow fluorescent protein), Sapphire (blue fluorescent protein), mCherry (red fluorescent protein) or CFP (cyan fluorescent protein); visualized under bright field (BF) or ultraviolet (UV) light. (b) Schematic view of the experimental design developed for high-throughput screens: yeast strains expressing heterologous drug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum DHFR (PfRdhfr), Schistosoma mansoni DHFR (SmDHFR), human DHFR (HsDHFR) or P. falciparum DHFR (PfDHFR) growing in the presence of candidate anti-parasitic drugs. (c) Pictures of fluorescently labelled yeast strains (expressing the indicated heterologous DHFRs) grown in competition in the presence or absence of the anti-malarial pyrimethamine.
