KPAF5 is essential for viability of procyclic and bloodstream parasite forms. (A) Growth kinetics of procyclic (PF) and bloodstream (BF) parasite cultures after mock treatment and RNAi induction with tetracycline. Data from three independent experiments are shown as mean ± s.d. (B) Northern blotting analysis of KPAF4 mRNA downregulation by inducible RNAi in BF. (C) Real-time RT-PCR analysis of RNAi-targeted KPAF5 mRNA, mitochondrial rRNAs and mRNAs. RNA levels were normalized to β-tubulin mRNA. RNAi was induced for 72 h. Error bars show the standard deviation from at least three biological replicates. The thick line at ‘1’ reflects no change in relative abundance; bars above or below represent an increase or decrease, respectively. P, pre-edited mRNA; E, edited mRNA.
