From: A new computational approach redefines the subtelomeric vir superfamily of Plasmodium vivax
New clustering of the VIR superfamily and subcellular localization of VIR-C, PvPIRA, and PvPIRD. Clustering result for the P. vivax VIR super-family [6] at E-value = 10-11 and Inflation = 1.3. Colors indicate cluster members. Different shapes indicate different (sub)families. Graph figures were obtained using BioLayout [18]. Phase contrast and confocal immunofluorescence images of transgenic lines of P. falciparum 3D7 expressing VIR-C (PVX_108770), family PvPIRD (PVX_102635) and family PvPIRA (PVX_112645) proteins. Parasites were labelled with anti-HA (green) and DAPI for nuclear staining (blue).
