a

Contains an LPXTG motif.

b

Protein homologue of B. subtilis is found in extracellular proteome (174).

c

Contains an LPXAG motif.

d

Also present in S. epidermidis.

e

Only the S. aureus COL protein has a Thr at the +1 position, which is not included in the recognition and cleavage pattern. All other S. aureus strains conform to the proposed pattern.

f

Contains a LysM or GW domain motif.

g

Only the S. aureus N315 protein has a Thr at the +1 position, which is not included in the recognition and cleavage pattern. All other S. aureus strains conform to the proposed pattern.

h

Protein homologues of B. subtilis are classified as Sec-attached membrane proteins (179).

i

Contains an NPQTN motif.

j

Protein homologue of B. subtilis classified as a secretory protein (179).

k

Only for the S. aureus MRSA252 protein; protein homologues in other strains are predicted to have two transmembrane domains and were excluded from the list.

l

Signal peptide predictions were performed with SignalP-NN and SignalP-HMM, version 2.0 (136; http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/SignalP-2.0/), PrediSi (76; http://www.predisi.de/), Phobius (95; http://phobius.cgb.ki.se/), and LipoP, version 1.0 (94; http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/LipoP/). These programs are designed to identify Sec-type signal peptides, amino-terminal membrane anchors (Phobius), or lipoprotein signal peptides in gram-negative bacteria (LipoP). The TMHMM program, version 2.0 (41; http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/TMHMM/), was used to identify transmembrane segments in proteins.
