Figure 3

Amino acid alignment of the msp1 -p19 fragment between P. relictum (SGS1) and P. falciparum (MAD20 isolate X05624.2). Dashed lines with black boxes represent conserved cysteine motifs with corresponding disulphide bonds forming, for the region, the two characteristic epithelia growth factor-like epitopes. Arrow indicates the anchor point in the merozoite membrane with the conserved “FCSS” motif surrounding the anchor point (red box).
