Notes:</emph> Acps, accessory gland proteins; CRISPs, cysteine-rich secretory proteins.
The table contains all 121 genes identified to date in the accessory glands of An. gambiae (Anopheles) males, identified by a number of strategies (as described in the text).68–71 Genes are organized based on their functional class. When known, the putative D. melanogaster (Drosophila) and Ae. aegypti (Aedes) orthologues are indicated. In the Anopheles column, identifiers in bold represent genes whose products have been detected in the male accessory glands (MAGs) by mass spectrometry68 and/or reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) data.68–70 The ‘*’ symbol indicates D. melanogaster and Ae. aegypti genes that are expressed in the MAGs of these species. The ‘♮’ symbol in the Aedes column indicates the presence of multiple putative orthologues (only the most similar orthologue is reported). The expression data column refers to the degree of MAG specificity of the An. gambiae genes, as obtained from MozAtlas website (http://www.tissue-atlas.org/); the degree of specificity is reported as the percentage of expression observed in the MAGs relative to all male and female tissues where expression was present in a minimum of 3/4 calls.71 Numbers are rounded to the nearest integer. Numbers in bold represent expression data obtained by transcriptional and/or immuno blotting analyses.68–70 Please note that An. gambiae genes in the following groups share a common probeset in mozatlas: (1) AGAP009354, AGAP009356, AGAP009359; (2) AGAP009355, AGAP009357; (3) AGAP009358, AGAP0013776; (4) AGAP009360, AGAP0013731; (5) AGAP009365, AGAP009377; and (6) AGAP009369, AGAP009370.
