AP2-exp mutant causes upregulation of surface protein expression and morphological changes in the host cell. (A) Western blot using antibodies against the conserved C-terminus of RIFINs on extracts of G7, MT6, MT20, and a positive control, FCR3S1.2 (+). Loading control, anti-hsp70. (B) Western blot using anti-STEVOR on uninfected RBC (RBC), G7 and MT6. Loading controls: anti-glycophorin (c) and histone H3. Cropped bands are shown and full-length membranes are available in Supplementary Figure S6. (c) Scanning electron microscopy of RBCs infected with G7 and MT6. Scale bar, 1 μm.
