FIG 5.
The number of A. fumigatus surface proteins identified in different surface proteomics experiments. (A) Pie chart showing the number of proteins present in different experiments. (B) Each of the bars represents the number of identified proteins, with black zones highlighting the number of proteins present in all of the surfome data available (see also Table 5), including the results obtained in this study (CEA10 B, corresponding to all the morphotypes of CEA10 obtained using the biotinylation method); the surfome of CEA10 (CEA10 T, corresponding to all the morphotypes of CEA10 obtained using the trypsin-shaving method); D141 (dormant and swollen conidia) results obtained using the trypsin shaving method (10, 11); the CEA17ΔakuBKU80 dormant conidia surfome results obtained using the formic acid extract (9); and the ATCC 46645 surfome detected by hydrogen fluoride-pyridine extraction and trypsin shaving (10). The pink zones highlight the number of proteins present in at least two sets of surfome data but not all sets of surfome data. Gray zones indicate the number of proteins present in just one experiment.
