Fig. 5From: A semi-tryptic peptide centric metaproteomic mining approach and its potential utility in capturing signatures of gut microbial proteolysisSignatures of altered microbial proteolysis at different levels in the fecal metaproteome of IBD. Normalized relative abundance of semi-tryptic peptides (NRASP) reveals altered microbial proteolysis at different taxonomic levels (a) as well as in different biological processes (b) and enzyme sub-classes (c). d Hierarchical clustering analysis of altered amino acid frequencies around the cleavage sites of microbial proteins in IBD. Partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA, e) of amino acid frequencies around the cleavage sites. Dunn-Bonferroni post hoc analysis following Kruskal-Wallis test was employed to detect significant difference among three groups (CD, Ctrl, and UC). *P < 0.05 versus Ctrl; **P < 0.01 versus Ctrl; ***P < 0.001 versus Ctrl; #P < 0.05 (CD versus UC); ##P < 0.01 (CD versus UC); ###P < 0.001 (CD versus UC)Back to article page
