Proteomic characterization of the membranous organelle and activated sperm proteomes in C. elegans. a The two proteomes were distinct, with 17 proteins found only in membranous organelles and 14 proteins found only in activated sperm. b The 15 most abundant proteins identified in the membranous organelles. Proteins unique to membranous organelles (highlighted in teal) include the Nematode-Specific Peptide family, group D (NSPD) as well as several housekeeping gene families. c The 15 most abundant proteins identified in activated sperm. The proteins unique to activated sperm (highlighted in teal) are predominantly involved in energy production. Protein abundance is shown as the relative mean normalized spectrum abundance frequency
