Notes: Sequences in order of increasing FFAT score. Red text, yellow fill indicates motif excluded and exclusion criterion: Location: lumen = translocated; mito. = mitochondrion; empty: cytoplasm. Structure: H helix, E sheet (red confirmed, black predicted, H b indicates helix between domains); empty: loop. Conservation: exclusion either if observed motifs ≤ expected (numbers of motifs in red) or if all p values for excess motifs with FFAT score ≤2.5/2.0/1.5/1.0 ≥0.01 (i.e. -1*log10 p value <2.0). Display of p value: nonsignificant (p>10-2); borderline (10-3p<10-2): pink, or only 2 motifs: grey; positive (p≤10-3): blue. The most significant Chi2 is used to colour the protein name. Chi2 is not valid if all expected values =0, and not given if only 1 motif was observed (“/”). ‡Erb1 and Ost1 have been previously identified as binding yeast VAP (Chatr-Aryamontri et al., 2017). Superscript er: known on ER. NOP2 has motifs of 2 main types: one in a confirmed helix and others in a loop.

Notes: colouring, p-values and exclusions as in part A. Kxd1 and Tor1 have 2 motifs with FFAT score =2.5. ‡ Epo1, Num1 and Pbi1 have been reported to bind VAP, but potential FFAT motifs have not been tested (Chao et al., 2014; Riekhof et al., 2014). Superscript er: known on ER.
