Distribution of the 287 G. m. morsitans spermatophore proteins in functional classes.
The number of total detected proteins associated with corresponding Gene Ontology term (Molecular Function Level III) is shown in brackets. Of the total spermatophore proteins, 18% (n = 52) yielded significant hits to proteins identified in other insect species but with still uncharacterized function and were thus classified as ‘unknown conserved’. Among the novel protein class, in addition to 20 newly identified sequences, are three that had previously been identified and are currently limited to Glossina: Gmfb8 (GMOY005771 and GMOY009539) and immune responsive product Fb49 (GMOY000899). For each class, protein abundances were assessed using emPAI calculation.
