Motifs identified upstream of oocyst wall and large secretory proteins. (a) Upstream regions of genes encoding cryptosporidial oocyst wall proteins, and the occurrences of the most significant upstream motif shared by all of these upstream regions. The positions of the motifs are drawn to scale. All positions are shown with respect to the translational start. Solid black symbols denote a motif located on the reverse strand. Sequence-logo displaying the information content for the over-represented motif. (b) Upstream regions of genes encoding cryptosporidial large secretory proteins, and the occurrences of the most significant upstream motif shared by all of these upstream regions. Sequence-logo displaying the information content for the over-represented motif. Expression profiles for both families of genes were published elsewhere (Abrahamsen et al. 2004; Templeton et al. 2004).
