Computational approaches provide valuable information to start experimental surveys identifying glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins in protein sequence databases. We developed a new sequence-based identification system that uses an optimized classifier based on a support vector machine (SVM) algorithm to recognize appropriate COOH-terminal sequences and uses a classifier implementing a simple majority voting strategy to recognize appropriate NH2-terminal sequences. The SVM classifier showed high accuracy (96%) in 5-fold cross-validation testing, and the majority voting classifier showed high recall (98.88%) when applied to it test dataset of eukaryote proteins. When applied to S. cerevisiae protein sequences, the new identification system showed good ability to classify unseen data. Applying our system to protein sequences of three aspergilli, we identified 115 GPI-anchored proteins in Aspergillus fumigatus, 129 in Aspergillus nidulans, and 136 in Aspergillus oryzae. Sequence-based conserved domain search found nearly half of these proteins to have conserved domains that covered a wide range of functions.
