Intraerythrocytic expression of Rpn6 and Rpn6ΔN. (A) Stages of the erythrocytic life cycle of Rpn6-RFA (Upper) and Rpn6ΔN-RFA (Lower) parasites observed by live fluorescence microscopy. Images left to right are phase, DAPI, GFP, and fluorescence merge. RFA - regulatable, fluorescent affinity (RFA) tag. Rpn6 and Rpn6ΔN were expressed in all intraerythrocytic life cycle stages and were located in the cytoplasm. Rpn6ΔN-RFA indicates deletion of the asparagine repeat. It is shown that the asparagine repeat is dispensable for protein expression, stability, and function.Muralidharan V, Oksman A, Iwamoto M, Wandless TJ, Goldberg DE.
