Imaging data (from Malaria Metabolic Pathways)

Immunofluorescence microscopy of Pfpmt in transgenic P. falciparum-infected red blood cells expressing GFP in the cytoplasm, ER, and Golgi apparatus. Erythrocytes infected with transgenic parasites expressing GFP in the cytoplasm (GFP) ( panel A), the ER (GFP-SDEL-PF14_0046) (panel B), and Golgi apparatus (Rab6-GFP PF11_0461) (panel C) at different stages of parasite intraerythrocytic development. Parasites were examined by microscopy using illumination at 546 nm to visualize Pfpmt (green) conjugated to the fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated anti-rabbit secondary antibody or at 488 nm to visualize GFP complexed with the Texas Red-conjugated anti-mouse secondary antibody (red). DNA was counterstained with Hoechst (blue). DIC, differential interference contrast images of parasitized erythrocytes. R, ring; T, trophozoite; S, schizont.Confocal microscopy revealed that Pfpmt is not cytoplasmic and complete co-localization was detected with Rab6, a marker of the Golgi apparatus.Witola WH, Pessi G, El Bissati K, Reynolds JM, Mamoun CB.
