Fig. 4. Acidocalcisomal membrane V-H+-PPase is downregulated in
ap3
promastigotes. (A) Western blot analysis of whole-cell lysates from L. major promastigotes with the anti-V-H+-PPase antibody (VP1). Elongation factor 1
(EF1-
) was used as a loading control. Molecular sizes are indicated on the left. (B) Immunofluorescence analysis of L. major promastigotes using the anti-V-H+-PPase antibody. (C) Localisation in WT and
ap3
L. major promastigotes, of the V-H+-PPase with GFP fused at its C-terminal end. All scale bars, 10 µm; n, nucleus; k, kinetoplast. Corresponding DIC images are shown as well.
