FIG. 1.

Global identification for candidate genes involved in invasion. Primary sequence data and gene expression profiles were analyzed using the resources at the PlasmoDB website (http://plasmoDB.org). The following query parameters were used to search the database for putative candidates: (i) transcription in late stages (maximum transcription, 42 h ± 6 h; minimum transcription, 16 h ± 8 h; >3-fold induction), (ii) predicted signal peptide, (iii) minimum of one transmembrane domain. Total numbers and numbers of intersections are given. Blue, proteins with ≥1 transmembrane domain (TMD); yellow, proteins with a predicted signal peptide (SP); brown, proteins transcribed in late stages (LT); red, intersection of proteins with late transcription and predicted signal peptide; green, intersection of proteins fulfilling all three parameters.
