Combinatorial Extension (CE) Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Combinatorial Extension (CE) (RRID:SCR_007585) | CE | data or information resource, database | CE is a databases of alignments for all polypeptide chains. A representative set of proteins is available and kept current with the PDB, a method for calculating pairwise structure alignments. CE aligns two polypeptide chains using characteristics of their local geometry as defined by vectors between C alpha positions. Matches are termed aligned fragment pairs (AFPs). Heuristics are used in defining a set of optimal paths joining AFPs with gaps as needed. The path with the best RMSD is subject to dynamic programming to achieve an optimal alignment. For specific families of proteins additional characteristics are used to weight the alignment. Complete details are described in the paper (PDF format).

Genomic Distribution of structural Superfamilies (RRID:SCR_007670) | data or information resource, database | Genomic Distribution of structural Superfamilies identifies and classifies evolutionary related proteins at the superfamily level in whole genome databases. GenDiS has been curated in direct correspondence with SCOP and represents 4001 highly resolved domains in 1194 structural superfamilies across protein sequence databases. Sequences showing reliable homology to entries in SCOP and PASS2 databases have been obtained from the non-redundant protein sequence database and aligned. Similar alignments of the superfamily members are provided in the genome level. GenDiS provides a platform for cross genome comparison at the superfamily level. GenDis relates proteins sequence information across all strata of taxonomy. One may navigate through the database to obtain structural homologues across different levels in taxonomic classification. The nomenclature of the various genomes and their hierarchy is in direct correspondence with the taxonomy database maintained at the NCBI. Sequence homologues for the various structural members are obtained from the non-redundant protein sequence database employing sensitive sequence search methods. Multiple approaches such as PSI-BLAST, HMMsearch of the HMMer suite and an interacting motif constrained PHI-BLAST have been employed to identify homologues in the sequence databases. | protein, protein superfamily | nif-0000-02874 | SCR_007670 | GenDiS | 2026-02-11 10:57:40 | 2 | ||||||||||

SIMAP (RRID:SCR_007927) | SIMAP | data or information resource, database | It provides a database based on a pre-computed similarity matrix covering the similarity space formed by >4 million amino acid sequences from public databases and completely sequenced genomes. The database is capable of handling very large datasets and is updated incrementally. For sequence similarity searches and pairwise alignments, we implemented a grid-enabled software system, which is based on FASTA heuristics and the Smith Waterman algorithm. SimpleSIMAP and AdvancedSIMAP retrieve homologs for given protein sequences that need to be contained in the SIMAP database. While SimpleSIMAP provides only selected parameters and preconfigured search spaces, the AdvancedSIMAP allows the user to specify search space, filtering and sorting parameters in a flexible manner. Both types of queries result in lists of homologs that are linked in turn to their homologs. So the web interfaces allow users to explore quickly and interactively the protein world by homology.

SYSTERS (RRID:SCR_007955) | data or information resource, database | SYSTERS is a database of protein sequences grouped into homologous families and superfamilies. The SYSTERS project aims to provide a meaningful partitioning of the whole protein sequence space by a fully automatic procedure. A refined two-step algorithm assigns each protein to a family and a superfamily. The sequence data underlying SYSTERS release 4 now comprise several protein sequence databases derived from completely sequenced genomes (ENSEMBL, TAIR, SGD and GeneDB), in addition to the comprehensive Swiss-Prot/TrEMBL databases. To augment the automatically derived results, information from external databases like Pfam and Gene Ontology are added to the web server. Furthermore, users can retrieve pre-processed analyses of families like multiple alignments and phylogenetic trees. New query options comprise a batch retrieval tool for functional inference about families based on automatic keyword extraction from sequence annotations. A new access point, PhyloMatrix, allows the retrieval of phylogenetic profiles of SYSTERS families across organisms with completely sequenced genomes.

The pathways are organized in a vertical fashion following the general signaling path from signaling molecules and membrane receptors, via signal transduction cascades, to transcription factors and their gene targets. Following the natural organization of cellular machinery with highly interconnected pathways and modules, many maps are linked together via hyperlinked box symbols.
