ePKinome in the predicted proteomes of diverse taxa. A total of 252 PKs were identified in the predicted proteome of S. mansoni. For comparison, the percentage (%) of the total predicted proteome that codes for kinases and the total number of ePKs (shown on top of each bar) is shown for four protozoan parasites: Pf - Plasmodium falciparum [107]; Tc - Trypanosoma cruzi, Tb - Trypanosoma brucei, Lm - Leishmania major [89]; two helminth parasites: Bm - Brugia malayi [108] and S. mansoni [26]; and five model organisms of KinBase Ce - Caernorhabditis elegans [51], Hm - Homo sapiens [13], Mm - Mus musculus [109], Dm - Drosophila melanogaster [110] and Sc - Saccharomyces cerevisiae [10].
