aEnrichments are in bold type. For each is listed the fraction, with the percentage and hypergeometric P-value in brackets (N.S. = not significant)

bFor NQ-rich proteins, the LPS threshold used is 1e-10 (overall fraction is 414/22699, 1.8 %). The PLAAC and PAPA predictions use default values (overall fractions: 136 / 22699 (0.6 %) PLAAC; 279 / 22699 (1.2 %) PAPA). In all cases, human protein composition is used for these annotations. The disordered proteins are annotated as described in Methods
