Results of the Blastp search for proteases genes, of the localization prediction and calculated molecular weights (MW).

Locus tags and descriptions were taken from the corresponding GenBank entries. The columns “matrix”, “E-Value”, “bitscore” and “% id.” list the alignment data of the according highest scoring alignment. The column “class” refers to our definition of alignment classes. Molecular weight was calculated by a program hosted on the ExPASy server. The columns “CELLO”, “PA-SUB”, and “PSORTb” give the classifications according to the prediction software. The column “Phobius” gives the number of transmembrane helices and a plus (+) sign if a signal peptide was found. Columns “SecP” and “SignalP” contain a plus sign for a SecretomeP output≥0.5 or prediction of a signal peptide, respectively. CP = cytoplasm, IM = inner membrane, PP = periplasm, OM = outer membrane, EX = extracellular, U = unknown.
