The numbers of yeast and worm proteins observed and predicted to target mitochondria

Organism Experimental
Estimated total number of mitochondrial proteins*
Prokaryote-derived (% of total) Eukaryote-derived (% of total) Organism-specific§ (% of total) Prokaryote-derived Eukaryote-derived Organism-specific§ Total (% of genome) 
Yeast 223  (58%) 75  (20%) 86  (22%) 365  ± 28 126  ± 10 138  ± 1 630  ± 49  (10%)
Worm 89  (61%) 55  (38%) 1  (1%) 405  ± 85 252  ± 53 7  ± 1 663  ± 139  (4%)

Predicted mitochondrial proteins are proteins from the complete genomes of yeast or worm assigned to mitochondria by using the algorithm of Fig. 2 with a training set consisting of all experimentally localized yeast proteins. 

*

Values shown are averages of predictions for each of the 60 values of coverage and accuracy plotted in Fig. 3, scaled up as described in the text.
