Additional remarks genetic modificationThe 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.
