Fig. 1: Characteristics of known Acrs.
From: Machine-learning approach expands the repertoire of anti-CRISPR protein families
a A cartoon of a sample directon. Acr proteins characteristically fall upstream of an HTH-domain-containing gene, termed Aca. Acrs are usually found in suspected mobile genetic elements, such as phages. The Acr directon is highlighted in the gold color, while the surrounding proteins are indicated in blue. Characteristically, Acrs fall in directons with small, unidentified proteins. b A density plot of Acr lengths. The X-axis denotes the common logarithm of the protein length, in amino acids. The Y-axis denotes the probability density function estimated from the data across the values of X. c A density plot of the mean lengths of proteins in Acr directons. The X-axis denotes the common logarithm of the mean length of proteins in an Acr directon, in amino acids. The Y-axis denotes the probability density function estimated from the data across the values of X.
