Features of STATAWAARS and associated genes in the B. xylophilus genome. a Sequence logo of the (original) motif STATWWAARS (in colour) showing the consensus and variable sites. The motif (black line) peaks around 70 bp upstream of the predicted coding region while the TATA box has a broad distribution (grey dashed line); b: Number of genes that have the presence of the (refined) motif STATAWAARS and the number of genes that have the presence of signal peptide (Fisher’s exact test p-value of 1e-05; significant for p < 0.01) (c) Number of sequences with various numbers of iterations of STATAWAARS (black line) as compared to the TATA box (grey line), and (d) proportion of genes with STATAWAARS or TATA box that are also predicted to encode a signal peptide for secretion. A trend line predicts the increasing probability of the presence of signal peptide in the sequences that have the presence of the motif
