FIG 3.

Histograms illustrating the distribution of the regulated proteins among the Clusters of Orthologous Groups (COG). The absolute number of proteins belonging to each COG is reported. (A and B) Data for the cytoplasmatic proteome; (C to E) data for membrane and extracellular proteomes. COG categories are indicated as follows: C, “energy production and conversion”; D, “cell cycle control, cell division, and chromosome partitioning”; E, “amino acid transport and metabolism”; F, “nucleotide transport and metabolism”; G, “carbohydrate transport and metabolism”; H, “coenzyme transport and metabolism”; I, “lipid transport and metabolism”; J, “translation, ribosomal structure, and biogenesis”; K, “transcription”; L, “replication, recombination, and repair”; M, “cell wall/membrane/envelop biogenesis”; N, “cell motility”; O, “posttranslational modification, protein turnover, and chaperone functions”; P, “inorganic ion transport and metabolism”; Q, “secondary metabolite biosynthesis, transport, and catabolism”; R, “general functional prediction only”; S, “function unknown”; T, “signal transduction mechanism”; U, “intracellular trafficking, secretion, and vesicular transport”; V, “defense mechanisms”; N.A., “not assigned.”
