In order to determine the secretory signal peptides, SignalP v4.1 (Nielsen, 2017 (link))4 was used to examine the 16,179 predicted proteins of F. udum. Further, TMHMM v2.0 was used to predict the protein sets with the existence of transmembrane domains (Krogh et al., 2001 (link)) and GPI (glycosylphosphatidyl inositol)-anchor using PredGPI (Pierleoni et al., 2008 (link)). Proteins including one transmembrane domain situated within the N-terminal signal peptide and no transmembrane domain overall were chosen. The predicted secretory proteins’ cysteine content was examined. In order to functionally annotate the predicted secretome, BLAST2GO was used to assign GO keywords (Altschul et al., 1990 (link)). The dbCAN HMMs 5.0 (Yin et al., 2012 (link)) was used to find carbohydrate metabolism active enzymes (CAZymes) based on the CAZy database in the F. udum secretome.
