Characteristic features of secreted proteins and their functional classification.
Ranges of molecular weight (A) and pI (B) of proteins identified in the secretome. Most of the proteins identified have pI between 5 and 10 and a wide range of molecular weight distribution. The identified proteins were assigned a putative function using Pfam and InterPro databases and functionally categorized as represented in the pie chart (C). Percentage of proteins in each assigned class was calculated based on the number of assigned proteins over the total proteins.
