Analyses of Physcomitrella patens Ankyrin Repeat Proteins by Computational Approach

Figure 1

(a) The total number of predicted ANK proteins identified by different groups in the four sequenced angiosperm genomes (Oryza sativa, Zea mays, Arabidopsis thaliana, and Solanum lycopersicum) along with their bryophyte counterpart P. patens. The total number of predicted proteins of each species is also provided. See source column for references. (b) Distribution of PpANK proteins according to their length. (c) Number of putative ANK repeats per protein shown graphically by bar diagram. The horizontal axis in the figure represents different numbers of ANK repeats while the vertical axis represents the frequency of the proteins corresponding to different number of repeats. A large percentage (41%) of the PpANKs have 3 repeats within their sequence, as seen in the graph. (d) The consensus sequence of the P. patens ankyrin repeat motif.
