Additional remarks phenotype

Mutant/mutation
The mutant expresses a C-terminal mCherry-tagged version of PBANKA_140030 and lacks expression of PTEX88, a component of the putative export machinery termed PTEX (Plasmodium Translocon of EXported protein). In addition it expresses GFP under the control of the HSP70 promoter (transgene introduced in the the PTEX88 locus.

This mutant was generated by (mosquito) crossing the mutant expressing the mCherry-tagged mutant with the mutant lacking expression of PTEX88 and expressing GFP (RMgm-942)

Protein (function)

Phenotype
The m-Cherry-tagged protein is exported to the red blood cell cytoplasm

Additional information
The protein was exported into the red blood cell in the absence of PTEX88 (PBANKA_094130), a component of the putative export machinery termed PTEX (Plasmodium Translocon of EXported protein).
