Extended Data Fig. 2: 2-D slices through the P. falciparum merozoite apical complex.

From: Rhoptry secretion system structure and priming in Plasmodium falciparum revealed using in situ cryo-electron tomography

Extended Data Fig. 2

(a–c) 2-D slices from tomograms showing either one rhoptry (a, b) or no rhoptries (c) docked at the AV. Scale bars = 50 nm. (d) 2-D slice from a P. falciparum merozoite apical end tomogram within a mature schizont, adapted from [30]. (e) The same 2-D slice from panel j with the original color overlay of the rhoptry of interest, according to [30]. (f) The same 2-D slice from panel j with an updated color overlay of the rhoptry of interest, the AV, and the RSA, based on our analysis. Scale bars = 200 nm.
