Table 1. Parasite strains used in this study.

Name Genetic background Comments
WT RHΔku80Δhxg Requested from the Carruthers Lab, not generated in this study
Δcrt RHΔku80ΔhxgΔcrt TgCRT was deleted by double-crossover homologous recombination
ΔcrtCRT RHΔku80ΔhxgΔcrt::TgCRT-mCherry-3xmyc Ectopic expression of a C-terminally epitope-tagged TgCRT in Δcrt for complementation
ΔcrtCRTT369K RHΔku80ΔhxgΔcrt::TgCRTT369K-mCherry-3xmyc Ectopic expression of a C-terminally epitope-tagged TgCRT mutant in Δcrt for complementation. The original threonine at position 369 within TgCRT was changed to lysine by site-directed mutagenesis.
ΔcrtΔcpb RHΔku80ΔhxgΔcrtΔcpb The entire TgCPB gene was ablated by CRISPR-Cas9 based genome editing technique
ΔcrtΔcpl RHΔku80ΔhxgΔcrtΔcpl The entire TgCPL gene was ablated by CRISPR-Cas9 based genome editing technique
ΔcrtΔsub1 RHΔku80ΔhxgΔcrtΔsub1 The entire TgSUB1 gene was ablated by CRISPR-Cas9 based genome editing technique
WT::nLuc RHΔku80Δhxg::nLuc Expressed NanoLuc luciferase in WT parasites
Δcrt::nLuc RHΔku80ΔhxgΔcrt::nLuc Expressed NanoLuc luciferase in Δcrt parasites
ΔcrtCRT::nLuc RHΔku80ΔhxgΔcrt::TgCRT-mCherry-3xmyc::nLuc Expressed NanoLuc luciferase in ΔcrtCRT parasites
TgAMN-3xHA RHΔku80ΔhxgTgAMN-3xHA TgAMN gene was endogenously tagged with a 3xHA epitope at its 3'-end by CRISPR-Cas9 based genome editing technique
TgSCP-3xmyc RHΔku80ΔhxgTgSCP-3xmyc TgSCP gene was endogenously tagged with a 3xmyc epitope at its 3'-end by single-crossover recombination
WT::PHL2 RHΔku80Δhxg::PHL2 Expressed pHluorin2 in the cytoplasm of WT parasites
Δcrt::PHL2 RHΔku80ΔhxgΔcrt::PHL2 Expressed pHluorin2 in the cytoplasm of Δcrt parasites
ΔcrtCRT::PHL2 RHΔku80ΔhxgΔcrt::TgCRT-mCherry-3xmyc::PHL2 Expressed pHluorin2 in the cytoplasm of ΔcrtCRT parasites
Δvp1 RHΔku80ΔhxgΔvp1 Requested from the Moreno Lab, not generated in this study
Δvp1VP1 RHΔku80ΔhxgΔvp1VP1 Requested from the Moreno Lab, not generated in this study
