Mitochondrial N-terminal peptides that were altered in abundance during EPEC infection are listed according to the N-terminal type, site, and relative fold change between EPEC wild-type (WT) infection versus either mock-infected cells or T3S-deficient infection (ΔescN). These sites have not been previously reported in the DegraBase or MS-TAILS experiments of apoptosis (16, 22). C, whole-cell fraction; M, mitochondrial fraction; bold text, protein known to be associated with apoptosis from UniProt; ↓, N-terminal location of observed N terminus in the full-length protein; ns, not significantly altered in abundance; *, previously unreported site in the DegraBase or MS-TAILS of apoptosis (16, 22).
N-terminal site denotes the six amino acids to the prime and nonprime sides of the predicted site of proteolysis (i.e., P6 to P6’).
