Figure 7. Pattern recognition receptors (PRRS) in Mytilus edulis.
Schematic overview of protein structures and number of contigs (in brackets) of identified PRRS in the M. edulis transcriptome. Protein domains are: Leucine-rich-repeat (LRR), transmembrane (TM), TLR and IL-1 receptor (TIR), Peptidoglycan recognition protein/amidase 2 (PGRP/ami_2), Glycosyl hydrolase 16 (Glyco_Hydro_16), Bactericidal permeability-increasing protein (BPI)/Lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP)/Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) N-terminal (BPI1) and C-terminal domain (BPI2), caspase recruitment domain (CARD), DEAD and DEAH box helicases (DEXD), Helicase_C (Helic_c) and the C-teminal regulatory domain of RIG-I (RIG-I_c_RD). Contig length was set generic, proteins domains were deduced from SMART or NCBI Dart using default thresholds.
