List of the PlcR-controlled genes in the ATCC14579 strain.

Sppc stands for ‘small peptide regulated by PlcR in B. cereus’. Sppc genes are wrongly annotated in the ATCC14579 genome. Bc2463a, BC3185a and Bc5101a are located between the PlcR box and, respectively, Bc2463, Bc3185 and Bc5101. Bc0361a is located between the PlcR box and Bc0361. Overall, 22 PlcR-controlled proteins are secreted, 18 are located in the cell wall and 5 are located in the cytosol. Determination of protein subcellular localisation was based on signal peptides, hydrophobic domains and cell-wall/membrane anchoring motifs presence.
