Phenotype
Asexual blood stage	Export into the host RBC: no
Gametocyte/Gamete	Not tested
Fertilization and ookinete	Not tested
Oocyst	Not tested
Sporozoite	Not tested
Liver stage	Not tested
Additional remarks phenotype	Mutant/mutation The mutant expresses a GFP-tagged version of the protein. The transgene is introduced on a plasmid and is expressed under the control of the constitutive eef1a promoter of P. berghei Protein (function) The protein is selected in an analysis of putative exported proteins, i.e. proteins that are exported into the host RBC. In this study a domain/motif/signal has been identified in exported proteins that is associated to lipophilic region that mediates export of P. yoelii proteins. This non-PEXEL signal termed PLASMED is defined by semi-conserved residues and possibly a secondary structure. Phenotype Export into the host RBC: no Additional information Other mutants
