- *The LexA interactions are from this study, listed in Additional data file 3. †The Gal4 interactions are from Giot et al. [6]. The chance of observing more than two common interactions between the Gal4 map and a random network with the same topological properties as the LexA map is < 10-6 (see Materials and methods). ‡The degree exponent and mean path length are topological properties of the networks. The degree exponent is γ in the equation P(k) = k-γ, where k is the degree or number of interactions per protein, and P(k) is the distribution of proteins with k interactions. §The mean path length is the shortest number of links between a pair of proteins, averaged over all pairs in the network.
