Additional remarks phenotype

Mutant/mutation
The mutant lacks expression of UIS8 and expresses the fusion protein GFP-Luciferase under control of the constitutive eef1a promoter

Protein (function)

Phenotype
The phenotype has not been analysed in detail. This line has been used to generate a chimeric line in which the uis8 gene of P. berghei is replaced by the uis8 gene of P. falciparum using GIMO transfection (see RMgm-4732)
