Characteristics of putative Ridgeia piscesae PGRP peptides.

Peptide sequences were predicted for the 5 putative PGRP ESTs using NCBI’s ORF Finder analysis tool. The sequences were then analyzed using BLASTP, against the non-redundant (nr) protein database to find top hits. The organism and E-value of the top PGRP homolog found for each is presented. Protein domains were predicted for the peptides using InterProScan (EMBL-EBI), and are as follows: SP = signal peptide, TM = transmembrane, and PGRP = peptidoglycan recognition protein domain. An X means the domain was found in the protein sequence. Cellular localization for each peptide was predicted using the WoLF PSORT prediction server [86].
