Figure 2. Localisation of PfRab5B-GFP fusion proteins in P. falciparum.

Parasites were transfected with constructs expressing the N-terminal 28 amino acids of PfRab5B or 29 amino acids of PfGAP45 fused to GFP under a schizont stage-specific promoter (msp3 5′UTR region). Localisation of PfRab5B28-GFP (A) and GAP4529-GFP fusions (B) as well as myristoylation (G2A) and palmitoylation-deficient fusions (C3A in PfRab5B28-GFP and C5A in GAP4529-GFP) were investigated. The first image in a series corresponds to GFP fluorescence, the second a merge of GFP fluorescence with nuclear DAPI stain, and the third a merge of GFP fluorescence, DAPI and bright field images. Size bars are 2 µm.

Figure 4. Ultrastructural detection of PfRab5b in P. falciparum-infected RBC.

Immuno-electron microscopy of schizonts (A) and a large trophozoite (B) of P. falciparum labelled with specific anti-PfRab5B antibodies, revealing the presence of gold particles both on the food vacuole (FV) and the parasite plasma membrane (PPM, white arrows) in trophozoites and exclusively on parasite plasma membrane for late stages. P, parasite; r, rhoptry. Scale bars, 150 nm.
