Figure 3. Global analysis of PfEMP1B-interacting proteins.

Figure 3

(a) Silver-stained SDS-PAGE of material eluted from IPs of crosslinked PfEMP1F and PfEMP1B parasite lysates. Examples of protein bands enriched in the PfEMP1B eluate are marked with asterisks. Full-length PfEMP1F and PfEMP1B are indicated with arrows. Molecular masses are shown in kDa. (b) Peptides identified by tandem mass spectrometry in PfEMP1B IPs sorted according to function or known localization of the parent proteins. (c) Relative abundance of co-precipitated PTEX components with PfEMP1B as determined by dividing the number of peptides identified by the number of amino acids (a.a.) of the individual PTEX proteins. (d) Human peptide matches identified in PfEMP1B IPs sorted according to the functions of the parent proteins. (e) The top 10 human proteins (by fold enrichment) identified in PfEMP1B IPs. (be) Peptide numbers are based on averages from two independent experiments. All identified proteins are listed in Supplementary Tables 1 and 2.
