摘要

Surface proteins in Gram-positive bacteria are frequently implicated in virulence. We have focused on a group of extracellular cell wall-attached proteins (CWPs), containing an LPXTG motif for cleavage and covalent coupling to peptidoglycan by sortase enzymes. A hidden Markov model (HMM) approach for predicting the LPXTG-anchored cell wall proteins of Gram-positive bacteria was developed and compared against existing methods. The HMM model is parsimonious in terms of the number of freely estimated parameters, and it has proved to be very sensitive and specific in a training set of 55 experimentally verified LPXTG-anchored cell wall proteins as well as in reliable data sets of globular and transmembrane proteins. In order to identify such proteins in Gram-positive bacteria, a comprehensive analysis of 94 completely sequenced genomes has been performed. We identified, in total, 860 LPXTG-anchored cell wall proteins, a number that is significantly higher compared to those obtained by other availablemethods. Of these proteins, 237 are hypothetical proteins according to the annotation of SwissProt, and 88 had no homologs in the SwissProt database — this might be evidence that they are members of newly identified families of CWPs. The prediction tool, the database with the proteins identified in the genomes, and supplementary material are available online at.
