Figure 5. Distribution and functional classification of Wolbachia ES proteins.
Proteins identified in the ES were searched against the Wolbachia database and a total of 91 were identified in the ES of Brugia malayi. The pie-chart represents the percentage of Wolbachia proteins identified from all of the stages, plotted on as a function of their classification. Only a single annotation was assigned to a given protein. All unknown and hypothetical proteins have been classified as uncharacterized. (Note: Metabolism includes amino acid, carbohydrates, nuclear and energy metabolism.)
