From: Bacterial plasmid-associated and chromosomal proteins have fundamentally different properties in protein interaction networks

Figure 7

The log10-scaled numbers of (A) indirect connections (blue) and (B) connected components (green) for all (chromosomal and plasmid) proteins (x-axis) related to chromosomal proteins only (y-axis) for the 489 samples with plasmid-related PPIs. The red lines show the expected rate if (A) the numbers of indirect connections for all proteins and chromosomal proteins were identical and (B) the numbers of connected components for all proteins and chromosomal proteins were identical. (A) The blue line shows the correlation between the numbers of indirect connections for all proteins and chromosomal proteins (> 98% of samples had more indirect connections when plasmid-related proteins were omitted). (B) The green line shows the correlation between the numbers of connected components for all proteins and chromosomal proteins (> 97% of samples had more connected components when plasmid-related proteins were retained).
