  1. a Plasmids encoding SPs are ranked according to their capacity to secrete NucA, as shown in Figure 1 (best SP first). All results are the mean value of three biological replicates.
  2. b Data from Mathiesen et al [19]. Note that the selection of SPs in this previous study was more or less random and not based on the genome-wide overview of SP functionality that is presented here.
  3. c Based on the assumption that all intracellular, non-processed AmyA is equally active as secreted AmyA.
  4. d Apparent secretion is partly due to cell lysis, meaning that the secretion efficiency could not be calculated. See text for details.
