Comparison of MG and FG proteomes between P. falciparum and P. berghei.
A, Comparison of the MG and FG proteomes between P. falciparum and P. berghei. B, Partitioning of the 611 proteins present in both species and in both sexes. Proteins showing opposite sex-partitioning in P. falciparum and P. berghei are labeled as “inconsistent”. C, Sex-specific proteins in one species but shared proteins in the other species. Proteins were grouped as MG- and FG-specific in P. falciparum but shared in both sexes of P. berghei (Pf-M/Pb-Co and Pf-F/Pb-Co, respectively), as well as MG- and FG-specific in P. berghei but shared in both sexes of P. falciparum (Pb-M/Pf-Co and Pb-F/Pf-Co, respectively). Different colors indicate relative protein abundance in different sexes of P. berghei (Pb-Co) or P. falciparum (Pf-Co). D, Comparison of gametocyte proteomes between P. falciparum and P. berghei.
