Fig. 6

Analysis of the 13 common NLS-bearing protein families among bacteria, Planctomycetaceae, archaea or fungi. There are 10 types of NLS-like motif in the 13 families in all. As shown in the figure, each family bar contains 10 small patches indicating one of the 10 NLS-like motif types. Euclidean distances of the 10 NLS-like motifs show at up and left. The 10 types of NLS-like motif arranged in order of simple to complex in family bars. Colors of responded patches in the family bars match microbial community colors below the euclidean distance map of the 10 NLS-like motifs, up and left, meaning the types of NLS-like motif in the patches derived from NLS-bearing protein of the community. Asterisks beside the family bar indicate the significance of NLS-like motif type change in family according to euclidean distance. Functions of the 13 NLS-bearing protein families show at bottom
