As a contribution to the characterization of the parasitophorous vacuolar membrane from
Plasmodiumfalciparum we have begun the identification of vacuolar membrane proteins.
Exported protein-2 (EXP-2) is a vacuolar membrane protein exposed into the vacuolar
space. To further characterize EXP-2, it was purified, and the 45 N-terminal amino acids
were determined by micro-sequencing. Based on this information, partial cDNA and
genomic fragments were amplified by PCR and used as probes for the isolation of complete …
