Contains an LPXTG motif.
Protein homologue of B. subtilis is found in extracellular proteome (174).
Contains an LPXAG motif.
Also present in S. epidermidis.
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.
Contains a LysM or GW domain motif.
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.
Protein homologues of B. subtilis are classified as Sec-attached membrane proteins (179).
Contains an NPQTN motif.
Protein homologue of B. subtilis classified as a secretory protein (179).
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.
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.
