Comparative analysis of glideosome components. A. Table of presence/absence of genes encoding glideosome proteins, distributed into functional groups. Glideosome components have been described mainly in T. gondii and P. falciparum. Protein sequences were searched for in the genomes of both Porospora and a selection of representative species as well as in available gregarine transcriptomes. Green indicates the presence, while white indicates the absence of an orthologous protein-encoding sequence. Light red refers to cases where only partial sequences have been retrieved. Violet indicates the presence of at least one protein in multigenic family proteins. * refers to the GAP45 3′ short conserved domain found in some gregarines species. All P. cf. gigantea orthologous proteins are detailed in Table S8. B. Schematic comparison of the canonical model of the glideosome and the elements found in P. cf. gigantea A and B. Missing proteins are shown with dotted lines
