Fig. 1From: Using host-pathogen protein interactions to identify and characterize Francisella tularensis virulence factorsYeast two-hybrid (Y2H) host-pathogen protein-protein interactions (PPIs). Using Y2H screens against whole human and murine proteome libraries, we identified 222 unique PPIs between 18 Francisella tularensis proteins and 183 human proteins (a) and 118 unique PPIs between 13 F. tularensis proteins and 113 murine proteins (b). Green nodes represent F. tularensis proteins, whereas pink and red nodes represent host proteins. Eleven F. tularensis proteins interacted with both hosts, and six of them participated in 21 conserved interactions (red edges), i.e., six F. tularensis proteins that interacted with both human proteins (red nodes in a) and their murine orthologs (red nodes in b)Back to article page
