Curator or user-submitted Comments:

The overexpressed Salmonella AfgC(CsgC) protein is localized in the periplasm and has the first 8 amino acids removed, however SignalP does not predict this signal (Gibson, 2007). SignalP analysis is consistent with CsgC having an uncleaved signal anchor which may be subsequently cleaved by an intramembrane or periplasmic protease. Alternatively, the csgC signal peptide may be a valid type I signal peptide that is anomalous and was not represented in the SignalP training set.
