Secretory Protein是指在細胞內(nèi)分解后，分泌到細胞外起作用的蛋白質(zhì)。分泌蛋白的N 端有普通由15～30 個氨基酸組成的信號肽。信號肽是引導新分解的蛋白質(zhì)向分泌通路轉(zhuǎn)移的短（長度5-30個氨基酸）肽鏈。常指新分解多肽鏈中用于指點蛋白質(zhì)的跨膜轉(zhuǎn)移（定位）的N-末端的氨基酸序列（有時不一定在N端）。運用SignalP 注釋蛋白序列能否含有信號肽結構，運用TMHMM注釋蛋白序列能否含有跨膜結構，*終挑選出含有信號肽結構并且不含跨膜結構的蛋白為分泌蛋白。

軟件Software

• SignalP V6.0
• SignalP 6.0 預測來自古細菌、革蘭氏陽性細菌、革蘭氏陰性細菌和真核生物的蛋白質(zhì)中存在的信號肽predicts signal peptides and the location of their cleavage sites in proteins from Archaea, Gram-positive Bacteria,及其切割位點的位置。Gram-negative Bacteria and Eukarya.在細菌和古細菌中，SignalP 6.0 可以區(qū)分五種類型的信號肽：In Bacteria and Archaea, SignalP 6.0 can discriminate between five types of signal peptides:
• Sec/SPI：由 Sec 轉(zhuǎn)座轉(zhuǎn)運，并由信號肽酶 I (Lep) 切割的“規(guī)范”分泌信號肽；"Standard" secretory signal peptides transported by Sec translocon and cleaved by Signal Peptidase I (Lep).
• Sec/SPII：由 Sec 轉(zhuǎn)座子運輸，并由信號肽酶 II (Lsp) 切割的脂蛋白信號肽；lipoprotein signal peptides transported by the Sec translocon and cleaved by Signal Peptidase II (Lsp).
• Tat/SPI：由 Tat 轉(zhuǎn)座子轉(zhuǎn)運，并由信號肽酶 I (Lep) 切割的 Tat 信號肽；Tat signal peptides transported by the Tat translocon and cleaved by Signal Peptidase I (Lep).
• Tat/SPII：由 Tat 轉(zhuǎn)位子轉(zhuǎn)運，并由信號肽酶 II (Lsp) 切割的 Tat 脂蛋白信號肽；Tat lipoprotein signal peptides transported by Tat translocon & cleaved by Signal Peptidase II (Lsp).

• 此外，SignalP 6.0 預測信號肽的區(qū)域。Additionally, SignalP 6.0 predicts the regions of signal peptides.依據(jù)類型，預測 n、h 和 c 區(qū)域以及其他顯著特征的位置。Depending on the type, the positions of n-, h- and c-regions as well as of other distinctive features are predicted.

軟件用法Usage

SignalP 6.0

預測Prediction

A command takes the following form

signalp6 --fastafile /path/to/input.fasta --organism other --output_dir path/to/be/saved --format txt --mode fast

• fastafile 輸入文件為FASTA格式的蛋白序列文件Specifies the fasta file with the sequences to be predicted.。
• organism is either other or Eukarya. Specifying Eukarya triggers post-processing of the SP predictions to prevent spurious results (only predicts type Sec/SPI).
• format can take the values txt, png, eps, all. It defines what output files are created for individual sequences. txtproduces a tabular .gff file with the per-position predictions for each sequence. png, eps, all additionally produce probability plots in the requested format. For larger prediction jobs, plotting will slow down the processing speed significantly.
• mode is either fast, slow or slow-sequential. Default is fast, which uses a smaller model that approximates the performance of the full model, requiring a fraction of the resources and being significantly faster. slow runs the full model in parallel, which requires more than 14GB of RAM to be available. slow-sequential runs the full model sequentially, taking the same amount of RAM as fast but being 6 times slower. If the specified model is not installed, SignalP will abort with an error.

輸入Outputs

• output_dir/output.gff3：僅包括含有信號肽的序列信息；

• output_dir/prediction_results.txt：包括了輸入文件中的一切序列（不重要）；
• output_dir/region_output.gff3：包括一切的信號肽區(qū)域信息。
• n-region: The n-terminal region of the signal peptide. Reported for Sec/SPI, Sec/SPII, Tat/SPI and Tat/SPII. Labeled as N
• h-region: The center hydrophobic region of the signal peptide. Reported for Sec/SPI, Sec/SPII, Tat/SPI and Tat/SPII. Labeled as H
• c-region: The c-terminal region of the signal peptide, reported for Sec/SPI and Tat/SPI.
• Cysteine: The conserved cysteine in +1 of the cleavage site of Lipoproteins that is used for Lipidation. Labeled as c.
• Twin-arginine motif: The twin-arginine motif at the end of the n-region that is characteristic for Tat signal peptides. Labeled as R.
• Sec/SPIII: These signal peptides have no known region structure.

預測

離線版總是報錯，找不出緣由，因此運用網(wǎng)頁效勞器停止，輸入文件為上述生成的“*_signalp/*.sigseq”，將其上傳至網(wǎng)頁版TMHMM，提交義務，等候結果即可。

結果展現(xiàn)

TMHMM可以輸入多種格式的結果文件，詳細請參考其官方說明。

在TMHMM網(wǎng)站提交義務

• Long output format
• Length： 蛋白序列的長度。The length of the protein sequence.
• Number of predicted TMHs：預測到的跨膜螺旋的數(shù)量。The number of predicted transmembrane helices.
• Exp number of AAs in TMHs：跨膜螺旋中氨基酸的預期數(shù)量。The expected number of amino acids intransmembrane helices. 假設此數(shù)字大于 18，則很能夠是跨膜蛋白（或具有信號肽）。If this number is larger than 18 it is very likely to be a transmembrane protein (OR have a signal peptide).
• Exp number, first 60 AAs：在蛋白的前60個氨基酸中跨膜螺旋中氨基酸的預期數(shù)量。The expected number of amino acids in transmembrane helices in the first 60 amino acids of the protein.假設該數(shù)字超越幾個，你應該被正告在 N 端預測的跨膜螺旋能夠是一個信號肽。If it more than a few, you are warned that a predicted transmembrane helix in the N-term could be a signal peptide.
• Total prob of N-in：N端在膜的細胞質(zhì)一側(cè)的總概率。The total probability that the N-term is on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane.
• POSSIBLE N-term signal sequence：當“Exp number, first 60 AAs”大于 10 時發(fā)生的正告。A warning that is produced when "Exp number, first 60 AAs" is larger than 10.

• 蛋白F01_bin.1_00110合計436個氨基酸，有5個跨膜螺旋結構。

• 蛋白F01_bin.1_00142合計557個氨基酸，一切序列均在膜外，即該序列編碼的是分泌蛋白。

• Short output format
• "len="： 蛋白序列的長度。The length of the protein sequence.
• "ExpAA="：跨膜螺旋中氨基酸的預期數(shù)量。The expected number of amino acids intransmembrane helices.假設此數(shù)字大于 18，則很能夠是跨膜蛋白（或具有信號肽）。If this number is larger than 18 it is very likely to be a transmembrane protein (OR have a signal peptide).
• "First60="：在蛋白的前60個氨基酸中跨膜螺旋中氨基酸的預期數(shù)量。The expected number of amino acids in transmembrane helices in the first 60 amino acids of the protein.假設該數(shù)字超越幾個，你應該被正告在 N 端預測的跨膜螺旋能夠是一個信號肽。If it more than a few, you are warned that a predicted transmembrane helix in the N-term could be a signal peptide.
• "PredHel="：預測到的跨膜螺旋的數(shù)量。The number of predicted transmembrane helices by N-best.
• "Topology="：N-best 預測的拓撲結構。The topology predicted by N-best.拓撲是由跨膜螺旋的位置給出的，假設螺旋在外部，則由“i”分隔，假設螺旋在外部，則由“o”分隔。'i7-29o44-66i87-109o'意味著它從膜內(nèi)末尾，在位置7到29有一個預測的TMH，30-43在膜外，然后是位置44-66的TMH。

結果匯總

經(jīng)過網(wǎng)頁版預測我們僅失掉了一個列表文件（Short output format），該文件需求自己復制網(wǎng)頁內(nèi)容粘貼到新文件中，我將其命名為*_TMHMM_SHORT.txt，并將其寄存在*_signalp目錄中，該目錄是由run_SignalP.pl生成的。下面我將會統(tǒng)計各個基因組中信號肽蛋白的總數(shù)量、分泌蛋白數(shù)量和跨膜蛋白數(shù)量到文件Statistics.txt中，并區(qū)分提取每個基因組的分泌蛋白序列到*_signalp/*.secretory.faa文件中，提取跨膜蛋白序列到*_signalp/*.membrane.faa文件中。該進程將經(jīng)過tmhmm_parser.pl完成。

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; # Author: Liu Hualin # Date: Oct 15, 2021 open OUT, ">Statistics.txt" || die; print OUT "Strain name\tSignal peptide numbers\tSecretory protein numbers\tMembrane protein numbers\n"; my @sig = glob("*_signalp"); foreach my $sig (@sig) { $sig=~/(.+)_signalp/; my $str = $1; my $tmhmm = $sig . "/$str" . "_TMHMM_SHORT.txt"; my $fasta = $sig . "/$str" . ".sigseq"; my $secretory = $str . ".secretory.faa"; my $membrane = $str . ".membrane.faa"; open SEC, ">$secretory" || die; open MEM, ">$membrane" || die; my $out = 0; my $on = 0; my %hash = idseq($fasta); open IN, $tmhmm || die; while () { chomp; $_=~s/[\r\n]+//g; # print $_ . "\n"; my @lines = split /\t/; if ($lines[5] eq "Topology=o") { $out++; print SEC ">$lines[0]\n$hash{$lines[0]}\n"; }else { $on++; print MEM ">$lines[0]\n$hash{$lines[0]}\n"; } } close IN; close SEC; close MEM; system("mv $secretory $membrane $sig"); my $total = $out + $on; print OUT "$str\t$total\t$out\t$on\n"; } close OUT; sub idseq { my ($fasta) = @_; my %hash; local $/ = ">"; open IN, $fasta || die; ; while () { chomp; my ($header, $seq) = split (/\n/, $_, 2); $header =~ /(\S+)/; my $id = $1; $hash{$id} = $seq; } close IN; return (%hash); }

運轉(zhuǎn)方法：將tmhmm_parser.pl放在*_signalp的上一級目錄下，*_signalp目錄中必需包括*_TMHMM_SHORT.txt文件和*.sigseq文件。在終端運轉(zhuǎn)如下代碼：

保證產(chǎn)出水質(zhì)的潔凈是純真水設備消費的關鍵，但是有時分也會出現(xiàn)純真水細菌繁殖的狀況，那么純真水設備如何檢測能否有細菌繁殖呢？罕見的有三種方法：

　　一、經(jīng)典微生物培育法：微生物培育法的要素包括：培育基的類型、培育溫度和培育時間。培育方法包括：燒注皿培育法、鋪平皿法、膜過濾法。

　　二、儀器法主要有：顯微鏡直接計數(shù)法、放射法、阻抗法以及多種生化方法。

1、優(yōu)點是精度好，準確度高，可以在較短時間內(nèi)取得檢測結果， 有利于停止及時控制。

2、缺陷是需人工處置樣品，任務量大，樣品處置量小，易受儀器等其他方面的制約，并且儀器法對微生物是破壞性的，它無法對污染菌作進一步的分別和鑒別。

　　三、慣例方法：微生物的鑒別是一項專業(yè)性很強的任務，需少量任務閱歷及專業(yè)知識。

　　掌握純真水設備細菌檢測方法，足以可以看出各種不利于設備產(chǎn)水規(guī)范的現(xiàn)象，檢測出危機產(chǎn)水質(zhì)量的污染細菌種類，保證用戶可以及時處置效果，結合純真水設備運轉(zhuǎn)條件保證系統(tǒng)產(chǎn)水動搖、牢靠。
