| UniProtKB release 14.0 of 22-Jul-2008 |
|---|
Up to now, the UniProtKB description (DE) lines were listing protein names in a computer parsable format, but with a minimal amount of structure. In UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot the description starts with the recommended name of the protein and additional alternative names are indicated between parentheses. In UniProtKB/TrEMBL the description is derived directly from the underlying nucleotide entry and its accuracy relies on the information provided by the submitter of the nucleotide entry, unless it has been improved by automatic annotation procedures.
Consistent nomenclature is indispensable for communication, literature searching and entry retrieval. The protein names provided in the description lines of UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot are widely used by life scientists and often propagated during the annotation of new genomic sequences. For these reasons we have structured the UniProtKB DE lines more explicitly: We introduced 3 categories, as well as several subcategories, of protein names:
Category Field Subcategory Field Cardinality Description RecName: 1 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot
0-1 in UniProtKB/TrEMBLThe name recommended by the UniProt consortium. Full= 1 The full name. Short= 0-n An abbreviation of the full name or an acronym. EC= 0-n An Enzyme Commission number. AltName: 0-n A synonym of the recommended name. Full= 0-1 The full name. Short= 0-n An abbreviation of the full name or an acronym. EC= 0-n An Enzyme Commission number. AltName: Allergen= 0-1 See allergen.txt. AltName: Biotech= 0-1 A name used in a biotechnological context. AltName: CD_antigen= 0-n See cdlist.txt. AltName: INN= 0-n The international nonproprietary name: A generic name for a pharmaceutical substance or active pharmaceutical ingredient that is globally recognized and is a public property. SubName: 0 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot
0-n in UniProtKB/TrEMBLA name provided by the submitter of the underlying nucleotide sequence. Full= 1 The full name. EC= 0-n An Enzyme Commission number.
Each name is shown on a separate line; lines may therefore exceed 75 characters.
A block of DE lines may further contain multiple Includes: and/or Contains: sections and a separate field Flags: to indicate whether the protein sequence is a precursor or a fragment:
Field Cardinality Value Includes: 0-n A block of protein names as described in the table above. Contains: 0-n A block of protein names as described in the table above. Flags: 0-1 Precursor and/or Fragment or Fragments

The UniProtKB FASTA headers were unfortunately incompatible with the -o option of the NCBI's program formatdb. We have been working with the NCBI to remedy this and changes were required on both sides. The new version of formatdb now accepts a database code for UniProtKB/TrEMBL, and we have modified our UniProtKB FASTA headers accordingly. For consistency reasons, we also changed the FASTA headers of the other UniProt databases.

We have added Chromatophore to the list of valid plastid values in the OG line. The chromatophore is the photosynthetic inclusion found in Paulinella chromatophora, a photosynthetic thecate amoeba. It encodes and houses the machinery necessary for photosynthesis and CO2 fixation; it also has the genetic capacity to synthesize some amino acids, some fatty acids and a few cofactors. It is not yet clear whether the chromatophore derives from the same endosymbiotic event that is thought to have led to all other plastids. The chromatophore genome of P. chromatophora has been sequenced (PubMed:18356055) and been found to be just over 1 Mb, approximately 9 times larger than the average photosynthetic plastid and approximately 1/3 smaller than the smallest cyanobacterial genome.
Example:
OG Plastid; Chromatophore.
Cross-references have been added to The Binding Database. BindingDB is a public, web-accessible database of measured binding affinities, focusing chiefly on the interactions of proteins considered to be drug-targets with small, drug-like molecules.
The Binding Database is available at http://www.bindingdb.org/.
The format of the explicit link is:
Data bank identifier BindingDB Primary identifier The primary identifier consists of a UniProtKB accession number. Secondary identifier None; a dash '-' is stored in that field. Examples P50613: DR BindingDB; P50613; -. P68850: DR BindingDB; P68850; -.
The target-decoy search strategy, which has become widespread and is recommended in journal guidelines, consists of attaching a decoy database to a forward database and searching MS/MS spectra against this composite database. It is more stringent than a simple search, and allows to compute an estimation of the false discovery rate.
For this strategy to be efficient, the decoy database has to preserve the general composition of the target database while minimizing the peptide sequence overlap between the target and the decoy.
We developed a new algorithm that shuffles proteins and keeps re-shuffling each tryptic peptide until it no longer matches with any peptide from the original database. This method ensures that no tryptic peptide is shared between the target and decoy databases.
Decoy versions of UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot, UniProtKB/TrEMBL and UniRef100 can now be retrieved in FASTA format from our : public FTP site.

The non-standard amino acid selenocysteine was annotated with the feature key SE_CYS and represented by the one-letter code 'C' in the sequence. Pyrrolysines were annotated with the more generic feature key MOD_RES and represented by the one-letter code 'K' in the sequence. In order to annotate these and future non-standard amino acids in the same fashion, we replaced the feature key SE_CYS and the MOD_RES feature key used with the description Pyrrolysine with the new feature key NON_STD (non-standard) and the descriptions Selenocysteine and Pyrrolysine, as appropriate. At the same time, we changed the sequence to use the IUPAC/IUBMB recommended one-letter codes 'U' for selenocysteine and 'O' for pyrrolysine.

Cross-references have been added to the public repository of 2D-gel data World-2DPAGE. All 2D gel data to be published in the journal Proteomics needs to be available on the web. The World-2DPAGE repository hosts the data for resources who cannot build and maintain a web interface. There are currently two data sources submitted to World-2DPAGE, which are numbered consecutively:
The format of the explicit link is:
Data bank identifier World-2DPAGE Primary identifier The primary identifier is a combination of the database name and the accession number (usually from UniProtKB) in this database. Both are concatenated by a ":". Secondary identifier None; a dash '-' is stored in that field. Examples P61108: DR World-2DPAGE; 0002:P61108; -.P77845: DR World-2DPAGE; 0001:P77845; -.
In cross-references to Cornea-2DPAGE, DOSAC-COBS-2DPAGE, HSC-2DPAGE, REPRODUCTION-2DPAGE and SWISS-2DPAGE, the secondary identifier used to be the species origin. The species information has become obsolete/redundant since UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot no longer contains entries describing the same protein from different species (see Release 6.7). We have therefore removed the species information from these secondary identifiers and replaced them by "-".

The UniProt Metagenomic and Environmental Sequences (UniMES) database is a repository specifically developed for metagenomic and environmental data. We now provide UniMES clusters, i.e. clustered sets of sequences, at two resolutions: 100% (unimes_cluster100.fasta) and >90% (unimes_cluster90.fasta). In unimes_cluster100.fasta, identical sequences and subfragments from unimes.fasta are placed into a single cluster. The unimes_cluster90.fasta is built by clustering unimes_cluster100.fasta representative sequences (the longest sequence in a cluster) using the CD-HIT algorithm (Li W., Jaroszewski L., and Godzik A., Bioinformatics, 17: 282-283, 2001) such that each cluster is composed of sequences that have at least 90% sequence identity, to the representative sequence. Only the representative sequences of the clusters are present in these files.
UniMES is available in the subdirectory current_release/unimes of the UniProt ftp servers ftp.uniprot.org/pub/databases/uniprot, ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/uniprot and ftp.expasy.org/databases/uniprot.
The DictyBase database was renamed to dictyBase. We changed the database name in the relevant cross-references (DR lines) accordingly.
Example:
DR dictyBase; DDB0201569; manA.

We have structured the comment line topic SUBCELLULAR LOCATION in order to improve the consistency of annotation and to allow to parse its content.
The new format of SUBCELLULAR LOCATION is:
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION:(( Molecule:)?( Location\.)+)?( Note=Free_text( Flag)?\.)?Where:
Subcellular_location( Flag)?(; Topology( Flag)?)?(; Orientation( Flag)?)?
\(By similarity|Probable|Potential\)Note: Perl-style multipliers indicate whether a pattern (as delimited by parentheses) is optional (?) or may occur 1 or more times (+). Alternative values are separated by a pipe symbol (|).
Examples:

EC numbers are used to describe enzyme reactions and are based on the recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB). The EC numbers and the reactions they describe are stored in the ENZYME and IntEnz databases.
In the UniProt Knowledgebase some enzymes are assigned so-called partial EC numbers where part of the numbers are replaced by dashes (e.g. EC 3.4.24.-). This happens in the following situations:
To distinguish these two meanings, we have started to use the letter 'n' with a preliminary number instead of a dash '-' for the latter case. The retrofit of those existing EC numbers of proteins in UniProtKB that catalyze a reaction that is known, but not yet included in the IUBMB EC list will be an ongoing process.
Examples:
The catalytic activity of the protein is not known exactly:
Q9VAC5:DE ADAM 17-like protease precursor (EC 3.4.24.-).
The protein catalyzes a reaction that is known, but not yet included in the IUBMB's EC list:
Q9ES52:DE Phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate 5-phosphatase 1 (EC 3.1.3.n1)

Cross-references have been added to the NCBI Reference Sequences database. The Reference Sequence (RefSeq) collection aims to provide a comprehensive, integrated, non-redundant set of sequences, including genomic DNA, transcript (RNA), and protein products for taxonomically diverse organisms including eukaryotes, bacteria, and viruses. RefSeq is a baseline for medical, functional, and diversity studies; they provide a stable reference for genome annotation, gene identification and characterization, mutation and polymorphism analysis, expression studies, and comparative analyses.
The RefSeq database is available at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/RefSeq/.
The format of the explicit link is:
Data bank identifier RefSeq Primary identifier The primary identifier consists of a RefSeq protein accession ID. Secondary identifier None; a dash '-' is stored in that field.

Cross-references have been added to the Database of genes from NCBI RefSeq genomes. Entrez Gene is the NCBI's database for gene-specific information. It does not include all known or predicted genes; instead Entrez Gene focuses on the genomes that have been completely sequenced, that have an active research community to contribute gene-specific information, or that are scheduled for intense sequence analysis. The content of Entrez Gene represents the result of curation and automated integration of data from NCBI's Reference Sequence project (RefSeq), from collaborating model organism databases, and from many other databases available from NCBI. Records are assigned unique, stable and tracked integers as identifiers. The content (nomenclature, map location, gene products and their attributes, markers, phenotypes, and links to citations, sequences, variation details, maps, expression, homologs, protein domains and external databases) is updated as new information becomes available. Entrez Gene is a step forward from NCBI's LocusLink, with both a major increase in taxonomic scope and improved access through the many tools associated with NCBI Entrez.
The GeneID database is available at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=gene.

Most protein sequences are derived from translations of gene predictions. Some of them exhibit strong sequence similarity to known proteins in closely related species. For other proteins there is experimental evidence, such as Edman sequencing, clear identification by mass spectrometry (MSI), X-ray or NMR structure, detection by antibodies, etc. To indicate these different levels of evidence for the existence of a protein, we have introduced the PE (Protein Existence) line.
Note that the PE line does not describe the accuracy or correctness of a sequence displayed in UniProtKB, but the evidence for the existence of a protein. It may happen that the protein sequence is not entirely accurate, especially for sequences derived from gene predictions from genomic sequences.
The format of the PE line is:
PE Level: Evidence;With the following values:
Example:
PE 1: Evidence at protein level;
The PE line appears between the DR and KW lines of UniProtKB entries.
The format of the RL line for submissions is:

We are pleased to announce a new UniProt database. The UniProt Metagenomic and Environmental Sequences (UniMES) database is a repository specifically developed for metagenomic and environmental data. Currently the database contains only data from the Global Ocean Sampling Expedition (GOS). The environmental sample data contained within this database is not present in either the UniProt Knowledgebase or the UniProt Reference Clusters. UniMES is released in FASTA format and to add further value, we have collaborated with the InterPro team to provide a file containing InterPro matches to UniMES.
UniMES is available in the new subdirectory current_release/unimes of the UniProt ftp servers ftp.uniprot.org/pub/databases/uniprot, ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/uniprot and ftp.expasy.org/databases/uniprot.
We have introduced the new CC line topic SEQUENCE CAUTION to describe protein sequence reports that differ from the sequence that is shown in UniProtKB due to conflicts that are not described in FT CONFLICT lines, such as frameshifts, erroneous gene model predictions, etc. This kind of information was before reported in the CC line topic CAUTION together with other warnings that are unrelated to sequence conflicts.
The format of the SEQUENCE CAUTION topic is:
CC -!- SEQUENCE CAUTION:
Sequence=Sequence; Type=Type;[ Positions=Positions;][ Note=Note;]
Where:
These lines are not wrapped and their length may therefore exceed 75 characters.
Examples:
