Localization of PfTrx-Px2 and PfTrx2 in P. falciparum erythrocytic stages. P. falciparum erythrocytic stages were transfected with construct pHH2-Px2-GFP, pHH2-Trx2-GFP leading to the expression of the peroxiredoxin or thioredoxin2 C-terminally fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP).A. The localization of the peroxiredoxin-GFP fusion protein in parasites previously treated with MitoTracker CMX-Ros was analysed by fluorescence light microscopy. Phase, phase contrast of parasitized erythrocytes infected with P. falciparum trophozoites; PfTrx-Px2-GFP, parasitized erythrocytes expressing the peroxiredoxin-GFP fusion protein analysed using the FITC channel; MitoTracker, parasitized erythrocytes expressing the peroxiredoxin-GFP fusion protein analysed using the rhodamine channel; PfTrx-Px2-Mito; merge of FITC and rhodamine channels; merge, merge of all images. The images show that the peroxiredoxin-GFP fusion protein is colocalizing with the mitochondrion (stained by MitoTracker).B. The expression of pHH2-PfTrx2 results in the localization of the fusion protein the mitochondrion. Phase, phase contrast of parasitized erythrocytes infected with P. falciparum trophozoites; PfTrx2-GFP, parasitized erythrocytes expressing the Trx2-GFP fusion protein analysed using the FITC channel; MitoTracker, parasitized erythrocytes expressing the Trx2-GFP fusion protein analysed using the rhodamine channel; PfTrx2-Mito; merge of FITC and rhodamine channels; merge, merge of all images.Boucher IW, McMillan PJ, Gabrielsen M, Akerman SE, Brannigan JA, Schnick C, Brzozowski AM, Wilkinson AJ, Müller S.

Localization of PfRab5b to a punctate compartment in the parasite cytoplasm. Triple staining with PfRab5b-YFP-DD (green), DAPI (blue) and one of the following markers (red): PfBip (a, ER), PfSec13-RFP (b, ER exit site), PfERD2 (c, Golgi), PfVPS2-RFP (d, putative multivesicular body/endosome), FabHleader-RFP (e, apicoplast), or PfTPx-2 (f, mitochondria) after 24 h incubation with Shld1. PfRab5b-YFP-DD localized adjacent to the Bip signal (arrowheads). Bars 5 μm.Ebine K, Hirai M, Sakaguchi M, Yahata K, Kaneko O, Saito-Nakano Y. Plasmodium Rab5b is secreted to the cytoplasmic face of the tubovesicular network in infected red blood cells together with N-acylated adenylate kinase 2. Malar J. 2016 15:323.
