Fig 7. PfCK1 kinase activity in culture supernatants.
(A) CK1 peptide phosphorylation by culture supernatants. (B) PfCK1 activity immunoprecipitated from culture supernatants of uninfected (uRBCs) or 3D7-infected (iRBC) red blood cells using an anti-PfCK1 antibody (α-PfCK1). A pre-immune serum (preim) was used as control. (C) Accumulation of casein kinase activity immunoprecipitated from supernatants of synchronised trophozoite cultures using antibodies against PfPK7, PfNek-1 and PfCK1. All three kinases immunoprecipitated from parasite extracts gave strong signals (not shown). (D) Secretion of endogenous GFP-tagged PfCK1. Anti-GFP Western blot showing GFP-tagged PfCK1 in the supernatant of transgenic parasites expressing GFP-tagged PfCK1, but not in supernatants of WT parasites. (E) Kinase activity immunoprecipitated with an anti-GFP antibody from culture supernatants. Lane 1: supernatant from a wild-type 3D7 culture; lane 2: supernatant from a transgenic line expressing GFP-tagged PfCK1.
