Fig. 1

Sequence analysis and schematic domain composition of Pb51. a Schematic domain organization of Pb51. The signal peptide, low complexity region and the OST3_OST6-like domain are shown as coloured boxes. The fragment used for E. coli expression is also marked. b Alignment of P51 orthologs in Plasmodium species. Pb (P. berghei), Py (P. yoelii), Pc (P. chabaudi), Pk (P. knowlesi), Pf (P. falciparum), Pv (P. vivax). Conserved amino acids are shadowed in black (for identical residues) and grey (for similar residues). The OST3_OST6-like domain is highlighted. The predicted PEXEL motif is located at aa 38–44 of the Pf51 sequence
