Cleavage site matrices

The pattern of amino acids in the region around the cleavage site is shown here as position vs. count matrices: Each field shows how many times each amino acid is found at each position. This is a more conventional way of displaying the information which is shown in the sequence logos.

The position vs. count matrices are given here as a comparison to those published by von Heijne in 1986 (Nucleic Acids Res., 14, 4683-4690). The range of positions is the same: -13 to +2 relative to the cleavage site.

The position vs. count matrices are easily converted to weight matrices of the type used by von Heijne:

displaymath12

where a denotes amino acid and p denotes position. The expected number, tex2html_wrap_inline18, is the average frequency of each amino acid times N, the number of cleavage sites in the sample. The average frequencies in these tables are calculated from the actual signal peptide data (we found this to yield a better cleavage site location performance than using standard distributions).
