Fig 4. Generation of an inducible ACL knockdown in ACSko parasites.

Fig 4

(A) Schematic representation of the U1 snRNP-mediated ACL gene silencing with Cre-recombinase dependent positioning of U1 in Ku80ko wildtype and ACSko parasites. (B) PCRs performed on genomic DNA extracted from Ku80ko, ACL-lox, ACSko/ACL-lox validating integration of the pKI-ACL-3TyLox3’UTRLoxU1 construct to knock down ACL in the different strains. The sequences of the primers can be found in S7 Table (C and D). Immuno-blot of total lysates from ACL-lox, ACSko/ACL-lox where ACL-lox was integrated in the ACSko strain or ACS was knocked out in ACL-lox. Both independent lines show increased levels of ACL when ACS is absent. Western blot was performed using anti-Ty antibodies. Anti-TgProfilin (Prf) represents a loading control.
