SignalP - 5.0

Signal peptide and cleavage sites in gram+, gram- and eukaryotic amino acid sequences

The SignalP 5.0 server predicts the presence of signal peptides and the location of their cleavage sites in proteins from Archaea, Gram-positive Bacteria, Gram-negative Bacteria and Eukarya. In Bacteria and Archaea, SignalP 5.0 can discriminate between three types of signal peptides:

• Sec/SPI: "standard" secretory signal peptides transported by the Sec translocon and cleaved by Signal Peptidase I (Lep)
• Sec/SPII: lipoprotein signal peptides transported by the Sec translocon and cleaved by Signal Peptidase II (Lsp)
• Tat/SPI: Tat signal peptides transported by the Tat translocon and cleaved by Signal Peptidase I (Lep)

SignalP 5.0 is based on a deep convolutional and recurrent neural network architecture including a conditional random field.

DeepLoc Remember, the presence or absence of a signal peptide is not the whole story about the localization of a protein! If you want to find out more about the sorting of your eukaryotic proteins, try the protein subcellular localization predictor.
