From: Promoter regions of Plasmodium vivax are poorly or not recognized by Plasmodium falciparum
The EF motif is an active cis -acting element of the P. berghei ef-1α promoter. A. Mutations of the EF motifs of P. berghei ef-1α promoter. Plasmid pE(A)b.luc.^D had its first or second EF motif mutated (*). B. Transient transfection in P. falciparum. Reporter plasmids were transiently transfected in P. falciparum. Luciferase activity is expressed relative to pE(A)b.luc.^D. Linear scale was used. Values represent the mean of at least three independent experiments done with two or three different DNA preparations. Bars represent standard deviations.
