Hydropathy plot of different classes of fungal hydrophobins. (A) Class I hydrophobin from Phlebia brevispora, (B) Class II hydrophobin from N. tetrasperma, (C) hydrophobin from T. terrestris and (D) hydrophobin from U. maydis. Hydropathy plot was made with Kyte-Doolittle hydropathy plot, Version 2.0u66 in Windows 9.0. Hydrophobic amino acids show more positive peaks whereas hydrophilic amino acids show more negative peaks. Strong negative peaks show possible surface regions of globular proteins, while peaks above the threshold line indicate possible transmembrane regions of the proteins. Positions of conserved cysteine residues are indicated with astersisks.
