Abstract

To better understand the interaction between the host and the Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogen, it is critical to identify its potential secreted proteins. While various experimental methods have been successful in identifying proteins under specific culture conditions, they have not provided a comprehensive characterisation of the secreted proteome. We utilized a combination of bioinformatics servers and in-house software to identify all potentially secreted proteins from six mycobacterial genomes through the three secretion systems: SEC, TAT, and T7SS. The results are presented in a database that can be crossed referenced to selected proteomics and transcriptomics studies (https://secretomyc.cbs.cnrs.fr). In addition, thanks to the recent availability of Alphafold models, we developed a tool in order to identify the structural homologues among the mycobacterial genomes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
