Relationship of disorder with protein length and proteomic complexity in organisms of superkingdoms and viruses. (a) Mean disorder in the sampled cellular proteomes showed positive correlations with protein length and number for Bacteria (length: Spearman’s rs = 0.154, p = 1.00e−10; number: rs = 0.398, p = 9.83e−67), Archaea (length: rs = 0.491, p = 8.78e−10; rs = 0.628, p = 1.24e−16) and Eukarya (rs = 0.613, p = 9.51e−23; number: rs = 0.320, p = 2.13e−06). (b) Mean disorder in viral proteomes showed negative (rs = − 0.174, p = 9.51e–46) and non-significant (rs = 0.023; p = 0.063) correlations with protein length and number, respectively.
