THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 19,2019. Analyzing protein structure projection on exon-intron structure of corresponding gene through years led to several fundamental conclusions about structural and functional organization of the protein. According to these results we decided to map the protein functional sites. So we created the database SitEx that keep the information about this mapping and included the BLAST search and 3D similar structure search using PDB3DScan for the polypeptide encoded by one exon, participating in organizing the functional site. This will help: # to study the positions of the functional sites in exon structure; # to make the complex analysis of the protein function; # to exposure the exons that took part in exon shuffling and came from bacterial genomes; # to study the peculiarities of coding the polypeptide structures. Currently, SitEx contains information about 9994 functional sites presented in 2021 proteins described in proteomes of 17 organisms.

Database for protein structural change upon ligand binding that are classified into 7 classes in terms of the ligand binding sites and the location where the dominant motion occurs. # Coupled Domain motions are the domain motions induced upon ligand binding. # Independent Domain motions are the observable domain motions regardless of ligand binding. # Coupled Local motions are the local motions induced upon ligand binding. # Independent Local motions are the observable local motions regardless of ligand binding. # Burying ligand motions are imaginable motions required to hold ligand protein-inside. # No significant motions mean just nothing happen. # Other motions are motions unclassified into domain and local motions. Proteins are flexible molecules that undergo structural changes to function. The Protein Data Bank contains multiple entries for identical proteins determined under different conditions, e.g. with and without a ligand molecule, which provides important information for understanding the structural changes related to protein functions. We gathered 839 protein structural pairs of ligand-free and ligand-bound states from monomeric or homo-dimeric proteins, and constructed the Protein Structural Change DataBase (PSCDB). In the database, we focused on whether the motions were coupled with ligand binding. As a result, the protein structural changes were classified into seven classes, i.e. coupled domain motion (59 structural changes), independent domain motion (70), coupled local motion (125), independent local motion (135), burying ligand motion (104), no significant motion (311) and other type motion (35). PSCDB provides lists of each class. On each entry page, users can view detailed information about the motion, accompanied by a morphing animation of the structural changes.

http://newt-omics.mpi-bn.mpg.de/index.php

Newt-omics is a database, which enables researchers to locate, retrieve and store data sets dedicated to the molecular characterization of newts. Newt-omics is a transcript-centered database, based on an Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) data set from the newt, covering ~50,000 Sanger sequenced transcripts and a set of high-density microarray data, generated from regenerating hearts. Newt-omics also contains a large set of peptides identified by mass spectrometry, which was used to validate 13,810 ESTs as true protein coding. Newt-omics is open to implement additional high-throughput data sets without changing the database structure. Via a user-friendly interface Newt-omics allows access to a huge set of molecular data without the need for prior bioinformatical expertise. The newt Notopthalmus viridescens is the master of regeneration. This organism is known for more than 200 years for its exceptional regenerative capabilities. Newts can completely replace lost appendages like limb and tail, lens and retina and parts of the central nervous system. Moreover, after cardiac injury newts can rebuild the functional myocardium with no scar formation. To date only very limited information from public databases is available. Newt-Omics aims to provide a comprehensive platform of expressed genes during tissue regeneration, including extensive annotations, expression data and experimentally verified peptide sequences with yet no homology to other publicly available gene sequences. The goal is to obtain a detailed understanding of the molecular processes underlying tissue regeneration in the newt, that may lead to the development of approaches, efficiently stimulating regenerative pathways in mammalians. * Number of contigs: 26594 * Number of est in contigs: 48537 * Number of transcripts with verified peptide: 5291 * Number of peptides: 15169

http://www.nematodes.org/nembase4/

NEMBASE is a comprehensive Nematode Transcriptome Database including 63 nematode species, over 600,000 ESTs and over 250,000 proteins. Nematode parasites are of major importance in human health and agriculture, and free-living species deliver essential ecosystem services. The genomics revolution has resulted in the production of many datasets of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from a phylogenetically wide range of nematode species, but these are not easily compared. NEMBASE4 presents a single portal into extensively functionally annotated, EST-derived transcriptomes from over 60 species of nematodes, including plant and animal parasites and free-living taxa. Using the PartiGene suite of tools, we have assembled the publicly available ESTs for each species into a high-quality set of putative transcripts. These transcripts have been translated to produce a protein sequence resource and each is annotated with functional information derived from comparison with well-studied nematode species such as Caenorhabditis elegans and other non-nematode resources. By cross-comparing the sequences within NEMBASE4, we have also generated a protein family assignment for each translation. The data are presented in an openly accessible, interactive database. An example of the utility of NEMBASE4 is that it can examine the uniqueness of the transcriptomes of major clades of parasitic nematodes, identifying lineage-restricted genes that may underpin particular parasitic phenotypes, possible viral pathogens of nematodes, and nematode-unique protein families that may be developed as drug targets.
