Fertilization and ookinete	Expression of the GFP-tagged protein in developing zygotes/ookinetes.

Additional remarks phenotype	Mutant/mutation The mutant expresses a C-terminal GFP-tagged form of PBANKA_082120 Protein (function) This gene was identified in a screen of mRNAs in female gametocytes that are bound to the translational repressor proteins DOZI and CITH. These genes are transcribed in female gametecytes but are translationally repressed. Translation occurs after fertilisation of the female gamete. Phenotype mRNA present in gametocytes but absence of the GFP-tagged protein (translationally repressed). Expression of the GFP-tagged protein occurs in developing zygotes/ookinetes. Additional information mRNA were translationally repressed by virtue of their 5′ UTRs or elements within its open reading frame (ORF) as the 3′ UTR in the constructs was taken from the P. berghei dhfr/ts gene known to allow translation of P28 in gametocytes. Previously, only p25 was shown to be repressed in a 5′ UTR-dependent manner. The results here suggest that this mechanism may frequently be employed. In this study 5 (translationally repressed) genes were C-terminally tagged with GFP (PBANKA_082120, PBANKA_133470, PBANKA_111410, PBANKA_010770, PBANKA_072090. All genes are transcribed in gametocytes but expression of the GFP-tagged proteins only occurs after fertilization in the developing zygote/ookinete Other mutants

Restriction sites to linearize plasmid

Selectable marker used to select the mutant parasite tgdhfr

Promoter of the selectable marker pbdhfr

Selection (positive) procedure pyrimethamine

Selection (negative) procedure No

Additional remarks genetic modification In situ C-terminal GFP-tagging was performed by single crossover homologous recombination into the corresponding locus using construct pLIS0080. The construct contain the tgdhfr/ts selectable marker under the control of P. berghei dhfr/ts 5′ and 3′ UTRs. Primers used to amplify the targeting regions corresponding to the 3′ end of the ORF excluding the stop codon are listed in Additional file 6: Table S4. Targeting regions were cloned upstream and in frame with the GFP. The plasmid was linearized and transfected into line cl15cy1.
