Regulation of mRNAs encoding surface proteins. The log2 regulation ratio (sample/procyclic) is plotted on the Y axis for the different time points given on the X axis. Time points are not to scale. The data points are not shown but are joined together by straight lines; each array spot is represented by a different colour as indicated in the legend below, which indicates the GeneDB locus number and gene identity. Genes are grouped according to function, as indicated above the graphs; individual genes within one graph may be assigned to different regulatory clusters. (A) Procyclins, the procyclic-form-specific surface coat; (B) Procyclin-associated genes (PAGs), co-transcribed with the EP and/or GPEET genes; (C) Genes homologous to Leishmania META genes; (D) Bloodstream-form specific invariant surface glycoprotein genes (ISG) and two genes involved in bloodstream-form specific GPI anchor metabolism.
