A highly conserved N-terminal [SG]-P-C-[KR]-P motif in a subset of F. graminearum proteins. MEME returns a [SG]-P-C-[KR]-P motif (e-value 3.4e-091) adjacent to the predicted signal peptide cleavage site for 37 of the 110 proteins in cluster C8. A MUSCLE alignment of the N-terminal region of a core set of well-aligned 31 of those proteins is visualized by Jalview. The MEME logos are shown with the [SG]-P-C-[KR]-P motif followed by a serine-/threonine-rich stretch. An iterative public database search of these aligned sequences (jackhmmer) returned additional members of this putative protein family in F. graminearum, F. pseudograminearum, F. oxysporum and F. solani.
