N2 - Sacred lotus, Nelumbo nucifera (Gaertn.), is a basal eudicot with agricultural and medicinal importance. The secretome and proteins in some other subcellular locations including endoplasmic reticulum (ER), mitochondrion, chloroplast, and membrane of sacred lotus were predicted using a set of computational tools. The distribution of proteins in each subcellular location in sacred lotus was compared with proteins in five other plant species. Plant proteomes contained approximately 6-9 % of secreted proteins, 13-15 % membrane proteins, 12-20 % mitochondrial or chloroplast proteins, respectively. Plant secreted proteins consist of a large number of hydrolases and peroxidases which may contribute to cell wall formation, rhizome development and seed germination regulation. The information of secretome and other protein subcellular locations in sacred lotus and other species can be accessed at the PlantSecKB website (http://proteomics.ysu.edu/secretomes/plant.php).
