Sporozoite	HA-tagged expression of PY00899 was detected in salivary gland sporozoites. A strong circumferential staining of the sporozoite was obtained with antibodies to the HA tag that co-localized well with CSP
Liver stage	Not tested
Additional remarks phenotype	Mutant/mutation The mutant expresses a C-terminal HA-tagged version of PY00899 Protein (function) The protein was detected in a 'sporozoite surface-exposed' proteome analysis of sporozoites. Phenotype Expression was only analysed in the sporozoite stage. HA-tagged expression of PY00899 was detected in salivary gland sporozoites. A strong circumferential staining of the sporozoite was obtained with antibodies to the HA tag that co-localized well with CSP, indicating a surface location. See also P. berghei mutants RMgm-391 and RMgm-603 that express tagged-versions of this hexose transporter Additional information In this study putative surface-exposed proteins from P. falciparum and P. yoelii salivary gland sporozoites were identified by specifically labeling live sporozoites with a biotin-conjugated, amine-reactive cross-linker and subsequent pull-down by streptavidin-coated Dynabeads. Other mutants See P. berghei mutants RMgm-391 and RMgm-603 that express tagged-versions of this hexose transporter
