| Phenotype | |
| Asexual blood stage | Not tested |
| Gametocyte/Gamete | We next deleted the gep1 gene (PY17X_1116300) in the sep1::4Myc parasite, generating sep1::4Myc/Δgep1 mutant. IFA showed lysis of Sep1::4Myc-labeled PVM in the sep1::4Myc gametocytes, while intact PVM was maintained in the sep1::4Myc/Δgep1 gametocytes 8 min post XA stimulation, indicating no PVM lysis in stimulated Δgep1. gametocytes |

| Additional remarks genetic modification | CRISPR/Cas9 plasmid pYCm was used for all the genetic modifications. For gene deleting, 5’-genomic and 3’-genomic segments (400 to 700 bp) of the target genes were amplified as left and right homologous arms, respectively, using gene specific primers. The PCR products were digested with appropriate restriction enzymes and the digested products were inserted into matched restriction sites of pYCm. Oligonucleotides for sgRNAs were annealed and ligated into pYCm17. For each deletion modification, two sgRNAs were designed to disrupt the coding region of a target gene using the online program ZiFit47. For gene tagging, a 400 to 800 bp segment from N-terminal or C-terminal of the coding region and 400 to 800 bp sequences from 5’UTR or 3’UTR of a target gene were amplified and fused with a DNA fragment encoding 6HA or 4Myc in frame at N-terminal or C-terminal of the gene. For each tagging modification, two sgRNAs were designed to target sites close to the C-terminal or N-terminal of the gene coding region. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
