dermokine. Dermokine, also known as epidermis-specific secreted protein SK30/SK89, is a skin-specific glycoprotein that may play a regulatory role in the crosstalk between barrier dysfunction and inflammation, and therefore play a role in inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis. Dermokine is one of the most highly expressed proteins in differentiating keratinocytes, found mainly in the spinous and granular layers of the epidermis, but also in the epithelia of the small intestine, macrophages of the lung, and endothelial cells of the lung. Mouse dermokine has been reported to be encoded by 22 exons, and its expression leads to alpha, beta, and gamma transcripts.

serine-rich aggregation substance UasX. Members of this protein family are repetitive, serine-rich surface proteins of the Firmicutes, found primarily in the genus Leuconostoc. The variant form of sortase signal, LPXTH, is replaced by LPXTG in members from some lineages, such as Weissella oryzae, and therefore recognizable. Some members of this family have the KxYKxGKxW type signal peptide as seen in the glycoprotein adhesin GspB, a substrate of the accessory Sec system for secretion. WOSG25_050600 from Weissella oryzae SG25 is identified in a publication as an unnamed aggregation substance, a conclusion supported by the sorting signals and composition reported here. We assign the gene symbol uasX (unnamed aggregation substance X) based on our evaluation of the family.
