Restriction sites to linearize plasmid

Partial or complete disruption of the gene Partial

Additional remarks partial/complete disruption PB000119.00.0 reads 3231 bp (PlasmoDB). The selectable marker was inserted between bp positions 1090 and 2502, replacing everything in between.

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 The unsuccessful ttempts to disrupt the fact-l gene in P. berghei indicates an essential role of FACT-L for blood stage development/multiplication.

See also RMgm-652, RMgm-653 and RMgm-654 for mutants in which the promoter of fact-l is replaced by an 'asexual blood stage specific’ promoter that is silent in gametocytes (the promoter of PBANKA_140060).

Disruption experiments were performed in the Leiden Malaria Research Group (Exp. 902, 917; pl1230)
An additional attempt to disrupt the gene was performed using a different plasmid targeting a bigger part of the gene (double cross-over integration; exp. 1147; pl1147). Primers used to amplify the target sequences are
L3576 (SacII): gcCCGCGGATGCAATCCTTATTAGTG; L3576 (StuI): gcAGGCCTCATCTGATTTAGATCTAAG; L3577 (XhoI): cCTCGAGCTAGAAAGAGTACATCATGG; L3578 (EcoRV): gcGATATCGCGTTCATTTCATATATAAC.
The selectable marker was inserted between bp positions 519 and 2742 of the PB000119.00.0 ORF, replacing everything in between.
