Extended Data Fig. 3: Difference in plasmid and chromosome proportion for all protein classes predicted by PSORTb.

From: Plasmids do not consistently stabilize cooperation across bacteria but may promote broad pathogen host-range

Extended Data Fig. 3

The x-axis is the difference in plasmid and chromosome extracellular proportions, as in Fig. 2. The y-axis is all possible subcellular locations predicted by PSORTb. These protein ‘classes’ are ordered along the y-axis by location within the cell, from intracellular to increasingly extracellular. Each dot is the posterior mean and 95% Credible Intervals from a MCMCglmm42 on the difference in plasmid and chromosome proportion across all species, accounting for phylogeny and sample size. The only proteins significantly over-represented in either direction are unknown proteins, which make up a higher proportion of plasmid proteins in all species we analysed.
