The proteins secreted through type 1 secretion systems often play important roles in pathogenicity of various gram-negative bacteria. However, the type 1 secretion mechanism remains unknown. In this research, we observed the sequence features of RTX proteins, a major class of type 1 secreted substrates. We found striking non-RTX-motif amino acid composition patterns at the C-termini, most typically exemplified by the enriched [FLI][VAI] at the most C-terminal two positions. Machine-learning models, including deep-learning models, were trained using these sequence-based non-RTX-motif features, and further combined into a tri-layer stacking model, T1SEstacker, which predicted the RTX proteins accurately, with a 5-fold cross-validated sensitivity of ~0.89 at the specificity of ~0.94. Besides substrates with RTX motifs, T1SEstacker can also well distinguish non-RTX-motif type 1 secreted proteins, further suggesting their potential existence of common secretion signals. In summary, we made comprehensive sequence analysis on the type 1 secreted RTX proteins, identified common sequence-based features at the C-termini, and developed a stacking model that can predict type 1 secreted proteins accurately.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
