Figure 5. Proteomic analysis of adult Drosophila hemolymph. Hemolymph was collected from adult flies and the proteome analysed.
(A) Number of different proteins identified in the hemolymph of adult control (w1118) and mutant dKlf15NN flies. (B) The number of proteins predicted to have a signal peptide by SignalP 4.1. (C) Heat map showing a truncated list of proteins identified only in the hemolymph of dKlf15NN mutants. Proteins are rank-ordered according to spectral count; each row represents three independent samples from each genotype (for full details see Table S1). (D) Coverage of SPARC protein sequence by detected peptides (yellow corresponds to regions detected in proteomics).
