(A) Representative negative mode MS data (670-980 m/z) of ghost membranes and drug-induced vesicles (DIVs). PE (red *), PG (+), and PI lipids (arrows) are marked to highlight their inclusion or exclusion from control and endovesicle preparations. (B) Representative positive mode MS data (full range m/z 400-1200) of ghost membranes and DIVs. (C) Representative negative mode MS (full range m/z 400-1200) of ghost membranes and DIVs. PI species are indicated with arrows.

(A) Mean FITC dextran uptake of mock-treated (−) or primaquine-treated (+) empty and PLC 1 PH domain (5 or 15 µM)–containing erythrocyte ghosts. Loaded ghosts were treated with 4 mM primaquine in the presence of 70 kDa fluoroscein isothiocyanate (FITC)–dextran to induce endovesiculation. To determine whether loading of the PLC 1 PH domain altered the frequency or degree of endovesiculation, treated cells were analyzed for FITC fluorescence by flow cytometry in the FL1 channel. 50 000 erythrocyte-gated events were collected per sample; error bars represent the standard deviation of triplicate samples within one experiment. The mean fluorescence per cell is displayed. (B) Parasitemias of empty and PLC 1 PH domain-loaded ghosts following standard overnight invasion assays as described in “Materials and methods, Purification of recombinant PLC 1 PH domain proteins and loading into erythrocyte ghosts.” Error bars represent the standard deviation of triplicate samples within one experiment. Representative experiment; n equals 2 experiments with non-fluorescent protein; greater than 4 experiments with GFP-PLC 1 PH domain (assayed by Giemsa and not shown). (C) Measurement of erythrocyte membrane mechanical stability by ecktacytometry of hemoblobin-free erythrocyte ghosts loaded with GFP-PLC 1 PH domain (5, 10 or 25 µM). The T50 (time at half maximal deformability index DI) indicates that there is no difference in the mechanical stability of GFP-PLC 1 PH domain-loaded ghosts versus controls. (D) Effect of annexin V loading on malarial invasion normalized to control infection. Ghosts were loaded and resealed with 2.5 µM AlexaFluor 594-labeled annexin and invasion assays were carried out as described for panel B.
