Figure 2. Expression and cellular localization of Pf-WRS AAD.

Figure 2

(A). Pf-WRS (AAD) expression in parasites (Par) and detection of recombinant Pf-WRS (Rec) by western blot analysis. A larger size protein band was observed (∼73 kDa) in the parasite lysate consistent with gene annotation for (Pf-WRS, residues 1–632). The recombinant Pf-WRS AAD migrated at ∼46.8 kDa as expected from the truncated DNA construct (Pf-WRS AAD, residues 228–632) (B). Localization of Pf-WRS in asexual parasite stages. Parasite line was GFP-tagged (strain D10 ACPleader-GFP) where apicoplast fluorescence is in green. DAPI staining is in blue while Pf-WRS is stained with Alexa594 (red). Pre-immune sera was used as negative control in these experiments.
