Table 2. Protein secretion pipeline applied to the D. vitifoliae salivary gland proteome.
Secretory prediction pipeline | Protein number | Percentage |
Identified proteins | 1511 | 100,00% |
TMHMMs | 240 | 15,88% |
GPI-anchors | 23 | 1,52% |
Proteins without structural retaining signals | 1259 | 82,32% |
Classical secretion pathway | 151 | 10,19% |
Non-classical secretion pathway | 354 | 23,43% |
Secreted proteins | 420 | 27,80% |
The secretion pipeline used to identify secreted proteins within the salivary gland proteome of D. vitifoliae larvae feeding on root galls of Teleki 5C (V. berlandieri x V. riparia). The online tools TMHMM Server 2.0 (TMHMMs), PredGPI (GPI-anchors), SignalP Server 5.0 (classical secretion pathway) and SecretomeP Server 2.0 (non-classical secretion pathway) were used in a stepwise fashion to determine the likelihood of proteins to be secreted.
