Proteomic analysis of the nlpD gene knockout strain. (A) Volcano plot showing the impact of nlpD knockout on protein abundance. The criteria for significant changes were defined as a fold change greater than 2 and a P value of less than 0.05. Significantly upregulated proteins are represented by red dots (UP), significantly downregulated proteins are represented by green dots (DW), and proteins without significant differences are represented by grey dots (Nodiff). The number of proteins in each category is labeled in the figure. (B) Gene Ontology (GO) analysis of the significantly upregulated proteins caused by nlpD knockout. (C) Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis of the significantly upregulated proteins caused by nlpD knockout in metabolic pathways62,63,64. The size of the shape represents the number of proteins classified in that category, whereas the colour represents the ratio of the number of proteins classified in that category to the total number of proteins in that category.
