Author Contributions
Designed the research: PAT KH. Analyzed data and wrote the paper: PAT KH. Performed microarray analyses, experiments, hybridizations, production of antibodies to N and C termini of PFD0495c, development of the transgenic line and its functional characterization by western blots, fluorescence microscopy, growth assays and in resealed ghosts: PAT. Conducted immunolocalization experiments of endogenous PFD0495c/EVP-1 and FM4-64 experiments: SB. Contributed new reagents: CvO BB JHA. Determined the sites of piggybac insertion: BB. Helped with sequence annotation: NLH. Performed the duplicate array hybridizations: ML.
