Additional remarks phenotype | Mutant/mutation Phenotype
Most studies on expression of LLR1 were performed with the following mutant:
A C-terminal AID-HA-tagged PbLRR1 line was generated by single homologous recombination. A 1150-bp region of PbLRR1 starting 289 bp downstream from the start codon and lacking a stop codon was inserted into pG362 vector and BsaBI-linearized before transfection into an OsTIR1 expressing pG230 P. berghei ANKA line (both plasmid and parasites are gifts from N. Philip, University of Edinburgh, UK).
Analysis of this mutant (PbLRR1-AID-3HA) showed the following:
During the asexual development cycle in the blood, PbLRR1 was undetectable at ring stage but was found expressed in trophozoites at the periphery of the nucleus, and in schizonts as a cytosolic punctuated pattern. PbLRR1 was also observed as cytosolic and perinuclear dots in non-activated gametocytes. Its expression was also detected in activated gametocytes and zygotes (4 h) exhibiting a punctuated perinuclear pattern. By contrast, PbLRR1 was not detectable in ookinetes Additional information Other mutants |

Additional remarks genetic modification | The parasites are selected by a combination of positive selection (pyrimethamine), negative selection (5-FC) and FACS sorting. 1) Transfected parasites are first selected in a mouse by pyrimethamine treatment 2) GFP+mCherry+ parasites are selected by FACS sorting and used to infect a mice 3) This mouse is treated with 5-FC to select for parasites that have the selectable marker removed 4) GFP+mCherry- and marker free parasites are selected by FAC sorting and used to infect a mouse | ||||||||||||||||||
