Mutant/mutation
The mutant lacks expression of PbANKA_0800600 and expresses the fusion protein GFP-luciferase under control of the constitutive eef1a promoter

Protein (function)
A library of recombinant proteins representing the repertoire of cell surface and secreted proteins from the P. falciparum sporozoite was generated and an assay was designed to detect extracellular interactions to systematically identify complexes. We identify three protein complexes including an interaction between two components of the p24 complex that is involved in the trafficking of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins through the secretory pathway. The (3 complexes between PIESP15 (PF3D7_0103900; PBANKA_0209200) and a secreted protein: PF3D7_0702900 (PbANKA_0800600); a second between two members of the p24 family of proteins PF3D7_0422100 (PBANKA_0522500) and PF3D7_0526900 (PBANKA_1241700), and the third between CelTOS and a predicted secreted protein PF3D7_0721100 (PBANKA_0618600).

Phenotype
No phenotype different from wild type parasites was detected throughout the life cycle

Additional information
From the paper: 
'We observed that both the ΔPbPIESP15 and ΔPbANKA_0800600 parasite lines had no overt infection phenotype in either the mosquito or in mice compared to the wild-type parental line. This lack of infection phenotype was consistent with the inability of polyclonal antibodies to both PIESP15 and PF3D7_0702900 to prevent invasion of P. falciparum sporozoites in human cells'
