Transcription Associated Proteins

Based on three 2007 papers about plant transcription associated proteins (TAP, references below) we have generated a set of classification rules for plant transcription factors (TF), transcriptional regulators (TR) and putative TAPs (PT).

TF Scan results

We applied the above mentioned classification rules to the Selaginella complete set of gene-model derived proteins (FM2) as well as to the non-redundant allelic variant set (FM3).

Within FM2, we found 1926 TAPs out of 34697 proteins.

Within FM3, we found 1098 TAPs out of 22285 proteins.

(i.e., on average, 57% of the TAPs are found within 64% of the proteins, if one compares FM2 to FM3)

In conclusion, there are 1098 TAPs non-redundantly representing the two haplotypes.

Family classifications (90 families) are available as well as gene model lists.

These automated annotation could be transferred to the gene models.

We can generate phylogenies for those families displaying biased size (see below), including the homologs from the genomes mentioned.

Biased family size

We compared gene family sizes with Arabidopsis, rice, poplar, grapevine, moss, C. reinhardtii, O. tauri, O. lucimarinus, T. pseudonana, P. tricornutum and C. merolae and calculated p-values for each deviating family (pair).

Comparison with the data generated by Potsdam

The Mueller-Roeber group has analyzed the Selaginella TFs/TRs according to the Riano-Pachon et al. paper mentioned at the top of this page. The comparison of the Freiburg and Potsdam data, both gene- and family-wise, has been summarized in an Excel spreadsheet.
