Comparative Analysis of Barophily-Related Amino Acid Content in Protein Domains of Pyrococcus abyssi and Pyrococcus furiosus

Figure 5

MAA analysis of shared FSF domains. (a) Although Tyr and Gln were used significantly more by P. furiosus in entire sequences, their use within the shared FSF domains seems to be statistically the same between the two Pyrococci. (b) Amino acids do not follow their patterns of homologous substitution within the species-specific FSFs. Statistical significance is marked with stars as described in Figure 2. A total of 1,627 P. abyssi and 1,739 P. furiosus sequences were analyzed.
