Protein Information Resource Integrated Informatics Resource for Genomic & Proteomic Research

For four decades the Protein Information Resource (PIR) has provided databases and protein tools to the scientific community, including the Protein Sequence Database, which grew out from the Atlas of Protein Sequence and Structure, edited by Margaret Dayhoff [1965-1978]. Currently, PIR major activities include: i) UniProt (Universal Protein Resource) development, ii) iProClass protein data integration and ID mapping, iii) PIRSF protein pir.georgetown.edu classification, and iv) iProLINK protein literature mining and ontology development.

UniProt – Universal Protein Resource

What is UniProt? UniProt is the central resource for storing and UniProt (Universal Protein Resource) http://www.uniprot.org interconnecting information from large and = + + disparate sources and the most UniProt: the world's most comprehensive catalog of information on comprehensive catalog of protein sequence and functional annotation. UniProt Knowledgebase UniProt Reference UniProt Archive (UniProtKB) Clusters (UniRef) (UniParc)

When to use UniProt databases Integration of Swiss-Prot, TrEMBL Non-redundant reference A stable, and PIR-PSD sequences clustered from comprehensive Use UniProtKB to retrieve curated, reliable, Fully classified, richly and accurately UniProtKB and UniParc for archive of all publicly annotated protein sequences with comprehensive or fast available protein comprehensive information on proteins. minimal redundancy and extensive sequence searches at 100%, sequences for Use UniRef to decrease redundancy and cross-references 90%, or 50% identity sequence tracking from: speed up sequence similarity searches.

PIRSF - Classification System

What is PIRSF? The PIRSF protein classification system is a network with multiple levels of sequence diversity from superfamilies to subfamilies that reflects the evolutionary relationship of full-length proteins and domains. The primary PIRSF classification unit is the homeomorphic family, whose members are both homologous (evolved from a common ancestor) and homeomorphic (sharing full-length sequence similarity and a common domain architecture). PIRSFs are manually curated for membership, annotation of specific biological functions, biochemical activities, and sequence features. In addition, rules for functional sites and protein names are created to assist in the propagation and standardization of protein annotation and the systematic detection of annotation errors.

When to use PIRSFs The PIRSF report offers a single platform for studying evolutionarily-related proteins. It summarizes distinctive features of the family such as family name, taxonomic distribution, hierarchy and domain architecture, as well as information about family members, including function, structure, pathway, ontology and family classification, with extensive links to the corresponding databases. Use this information to obtain accurate functional data on your protein of interest and/or to predict function and other properties of uncharacterized members of the family.
