Predicted protein structure of PfRON6 and its orthologues. (A) Schematic representation of PfRON6. The signal peptide, repeat regions, the conserved region and the cysteine-rich region are indicated. The repeat regions consist of: R1 degenerate repeats of the sequence SDDHK[V/I]EE[N/V]KK, R2 tandem repeats of the sequence KDXXKEKX and R3 degenerate repeats containing the dipeptide EN. The numbers refer to the amino acid residues. Black bars indicate fragments corresponding to residues 21–308 (A), 308–441 (B) and 752–950 (C) that were produced as recombinant fusion proteins. (B) Schematic representation of PfRON6 orthologues from other Plasmodium species. Species where only partial sequence is available are indicated in brackets. (C) Amino acid alignments of the conserved regions of PfRON6 from different Plasmodium species. Pk – Plasmodium knowlesi; Pv – Plasmodium vivax; Pf – Plasmodium falciparum; Pb – Plasmodium. berghei; Pc – Plasmodium chabaudi; Pg – Plasmodium gallinaceum
