Tutorial 9 Protein and Function Databases
Protein and Function Databases UniProt - SwissProt/TrEMBL PROSITE Pfam Gene Onltology DAVID
Glossary Domain A structural unit which can be found in multiple protein contexts.
Glossary Repeat A short unit which is unstable in isolation but forms a stable structure when multiple copies are present. Family A collection of related proteins.
UniProt http://www.uniprot.org/ The Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) is a central repository of protein sequence, function, classification and cross reference. It was created by joining the information contained in swiss-Prot and TrEMBL.

Pfam • http://pfam.sanger.ac.uk/ • Pfam is a database of multiple alignments of protein domains or conserved protein regions.
What kind of domains can we find in Pfam? Trusted Domains Repeats Fragment Domains Nested Domains Disulfide bonds Important residues (e.g active sites) Trans membrane domains
What kind of domains can we find in Pfam? Context domains: are those that despite not scoring above the family threshold are expected to be real, based on the other domains found in the protein. Signal peptides: (indicate a protein that will be secreted) Low complexity regions Coiled Coils: (two or three alpha helices that wind around each other)
Domains Domain range and score
Description Structure info Gene Ontology Links
Prosite • http://www.expasy.org/tools/scanprosite • ProSite is a database of protein domains and motifsthat can be searched by either regular expression patterns or sequence profiles.

Gene Ontology (GO) http://www.geneontology.org/ • It is a database of biological processes, • molecular functions and cellular components. • GO does not contain sequence information nor gene • or protein description. • GO is linked to gene and protein databases. • The GO database is structured as a tree
Three principal branches http://www.geneontology.org/amigo/
GO structure is a Directed Acyclic Graph
