The UniProt knowledgebase www.uniprot.org a hub of integrated protein data Marie-Claude.Blatter@isb-sib.ch Swiss-Prot group, Geneva SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics Science cover, february 2011 data protein sequence knowledge functional information UniProt consortium EBI : European Bioinformatics Institute (UK) SIB : Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (CH) PIR : Protein information resource (US) www.uniprot.org UniProt databases UniProtKB: protein sequence knowledgebase, 2 sections UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot and UniProtKB/TrEMBL (query, Blast, download) (~15 mo entries) UniParc: protein sequence archive (ENA equivalent at the protein level). Each entry contains a protein sequence with crosslinks to other databases where you find the sequence (active or not). Not annotated (query, Blast, download) (~25 mo entries) UniRef: 3 clusters of protein sequences with 100, 90 and 50 % identity; useful to speed up sequence similarity search (BLAST) (query, Blast, download) (UniRef100 10 mo entries; UniRef90 7 mo entries; UniRef50 3.3 mo entries) UniMES: protein sequences derived from metagenomic projects (mostly Global Ocean Sampling (GOS)) (download) (8 mo entries, included in UniParc) UniProt databases The central piece UniProtKB an encyclopedia on proteins composed of 2 sections UniProtKB/TrEMBL and UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot unreviewed and reviewed automatically annotated and manually annotated released every 4 weeks UniProtKB Origin of protein sequences UniProtKB protein sequences are mainly derived from - INSDC (translated submitted coding sequences - CDS) Ensembl (gene prediction ) and RefSeq sequences Sequences of PDB structures Direct submission or sequences scanned from literature 85 % 15 % Notes: - UniProt is not doing any gene prediction - Most non-germline immunoglobulins, T-cell receptors , most patent sequences, highly over-represented data (e.g. viral antigens), pseudogenes sequences are excluded from UniProtKB, - but stored in UniParc - Data from the PIR database have been integrated in UniProtKB since 2003. EMBL Manual annotation of the sequence and associated biological information TrEMBL Automated extraction of protein sequence (translated CDS), gene name and references.

Biological information Sources of annotation - Provided by the submitter (EMBL, PDB, TAIR…) - From automated annotation (automated generated annotation rules (i.e. SAAS) and/or manually generated annotation rules (i.e. UniRule)) UniProtKB/TrEMBL Example of fully automatic annotation: SAAS • Rules are derived from the UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot manual annotation. • Fully automated rule generation based on C4.5 decision tree algorithm. • One annotation, one rule. • High stringency – require 99% or greater estimated precision to generate annotation (test on UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot) • Rules are produced, updated and validated at each release.
