Distribution of prolines across proline‐rich pioneers and all other proline‐rich proteins predicted from the transcriptome of Pratylenchus penetrans. (A) For each proline (P), the probability of neighbouring positions (n + 1, n + 2, n + 3, etc.) also containing a proline was calculated. (B) For the proline‐rich effectors, positions n + 1, n + 3, n + 6 and n + 9 to a proline appear to be enriched for another proline (dark blue), when compared with the randomized primary amino acid sequence (purple). (C) No such enrichment is observed in any position for all other similarly proline‐rich proteins in the transcriptome dataset.
