Mutant/mutation
The mutant lacks expression of PBANKA_0605900 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 PBANKA_0605900 of P. berghei is replaced by the  P. falciparum ortholog PF3D7_1207400 using GIMO transfection (see RMgm-4742)
