Sandra Orchard UniProtKB
Importance of reference protein sequence databases • Completeness and minimal redundancy A non redundant protein sequence database, with maximal coverage including splice isoforms, disease variant and PTMs. Low degree of redundancy for facilitating peptide assignments • Stabilityand consistency Stable identifiers and consistent nomenclature Databases are in constant change due to a substantial amount of work to improve their completeness and the quality of sequence annotation • High quality protein annotation Detailed information on protein function, biological processes, molecular interactions and pathways cross-referenced to external source
Summary of protein sequence databases Updated from Nesvizhskii, A. I., and Aebersold, R. (2005) Interpretation of shotgun proteomic data: the protein inference problem. Mol. Cell. Proteomics. 4,1419–1440l
UniProtKB • UniProt Knowledgebase: • 2 sections • UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Non-redundant, high-quality manual annotation - reviewed • UniProtKB/TrEMBL Redundant, automatically annotated - unreviewed www.uniprot.org Master headline
Collaboration projects between database resources • CCDS project, a collaboration between Ensembl, NCBI, UCSC and UniProt, aims to provide a standard set of gene predictions for the human and mouse genomes • Considerable communication effort between curators from different groups is on-going • Ensembl and UniProt collaboration to cover the gaps in gene predictions in UniProtKB (one sequence for each protein coding transcript in Ensembl) • Ensembl high quality gene/transcript models (quality checks remove gene models with erroneous structures or supported by dubious evidence – e.g. cDNA fragments with short/wrongly annotated ORF) • UniProtKB high quality protein sequences
Complete proteome data sets in UniProtKB • Ensembl sequences have now been incorporated for an increasing number of species: human, mouse, rat , zebrafish, chicken, dog pig and cow. • Tagged with Complete proteome keyword by release 2011_06 of 31st May • Now increasingly >1 proteome/species – most completely annotated tagged as ‘Reference Proteome’
Manual annotation of the human proteome(UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot) A draft of the complete human proteome has been available in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot since 2008 Manually annotated representation of 20,242 protein coding genes with ~ 36,000 protein sequences - an additional 38,484 UniProtKB/TrEMBL form the complete proteome set Approximately 63,000 single amino acid polymorphisms (SAPs), mostly disease-linked 80,000 post-translational modifications (PTMs) Close collaboration with NCBI, Ensembl, Sanger Institute and UCSC to provide the authoritative set to the user community

Evidence at protein level There is experimental evidence of the existence of a protein (e.g. Edman sequencing, MS, X-ray/NMR structure, good quality protein-protein interaction , detection by antibodies) Evidence at transcript level The existence of a protein has not been proven but there is expression data (e.g. existence of cDNAs, RT-PCR or Northern blots) that indicates the existence of a transcript. Inferred from homology The existence of a protein is likely because orthologs exist in closely related species 4 Predicted 5 Uncertain Sequence evidence Type of evidence that supports the existence of a protein
UniProtKB/TrEMBL • Multiple entries for the same protein (redundancy) can arise in UniProtKB/TrEMBL due to: • Erroneous gene model predictions • Sequence errors (Frame shifts) • Polymorphisms • Alternative start sites • Isoforms • Apart from 100% identical sequences all merged sequences are analysed by a curator so they can be annotated accordingly.
Automatic Annotation • Automated clean-up of annotation from original nucleotide sequence entry • Additional value added by using automatic annotation • Recognises common annotation belonging to a closely related family within UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot • Identifies all members of this family using pattern/motif/HMMs in InterPro • Transfers common annotation to related family members in TrEMBL Master headline
