Fig. 2: NTS repeats are associated with hypothetical GIY-YIG nucleases.

a Distribution of homologous-protein encoding genes of the Nm proteome and the fraction of such homologs with NTS or SRM repeats flanking their genes at both sides. Each point represents one protein in the Nm proteome, and the plot relates the number of homologs found in the NCBI reference / representative genome database to the fraction of those homologs flanked by SRMs. b Distribution of the NTS repeats (red) near selected ssnA homologs (blue). c Sequence alignment of ssnA-associated NTS repeats from selected species, in the same order as in (b). Darker blue indicates better conserved nucleotides.
