A new method for predicting signal sequence cleavage sites

Nucleic Acids Res. 1986 Jun 11;14(11):4683-90. doi: 10.1093/nar/14.11.4683.

Abstract

A new method for identifying secretory signal sequences and for predicting the site of cleavage between a signal sequence and the mature exported protein is described. The predictive accuracy is estimated to be around 75-80% for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic proteins.
