\'An inducible knockout of gene function showed that PfAP2-P is essential for trophozoite development, and critical for var gene regulation, merozoite development and parasite egress. Single-cell RNA sequencing and fluorescence-activated cell sorting revealed de-repression of most var genes in Δpfap2-p parasites. Δpfap2-p parasites also overexpress early gametocyte marker genes, indicating a regulatory role in sexual stage conversion.\' |

Imaging data (from Malaria Metabolic Pathways)
PfAP2-I Is a Nuclear Protein that May Bind a Conserved TGCA DNA Motif Upstream of Some Invasion Genes. Live fluorescence microscopy of synchronized parasites shows that PfAP2-I-GFP (see Figure S1B) localizes to the nucleus of trophozoite and schizont stage parasites but is not detected in ring stages. Hoechst was used as a nuclear marker. Live microscopy and nuclear fractionation assays show that PfAP2-I localizes exclusively to the nucleus of trophozoite and schizont stage parasites.Santos JM, Josling G, Ross P, Joshi P, Orchard L, Campbell T, Schieler A, Cristea IM, Llinás M.
