The Role of Serine-Type Serine Repeat Antigen in Plasmodium yoelii Blood Stage Development
Figure 1
Differences in SERA chromosomal organization and transcription.
A. Schematic gene organization of SERA members in P.falciparum (3D7) and P.yoelii (17XNL). Each rectangular box represents one SERA member and their corresponding gene ID corresponding is indicated below. The horizontal lines represent the chromosomes and confirmed locations of the genes are indicated. SERA members are classified according to the active center residue and monophylic group. Figure is modified from Arisue et al., 2007; B. Comparison of YM and YA transcription using microarray analysis. Color scale represents log2 ratio differences between the samples; C. Summary of differentially expressed genes in three different stages. Numbers of genes identified are at each stage or cross stages are indicated.
