Implication

Database update demonstrates integration of predictive signatures across 79.8% of UniProtKB proteins, highlighting improved coverage for functional proteome characterization.

Key Points

  • To integrate diagnostic predictive models representing protein domains, families, and functional sites from multiple partner databases into a centralized, unified annotation resource.
  • Manually curated and consolidated diagnostic signatures from ten source databases: Gene3D, PANTHER, Pfam, PIRSF, PRINTS, ProDom, PROSITE, SMART, SUPERFAMILY, and TIGRFAMs.
  • Expanded public data delivery by adding structural annotations, matchless UniProtKB entries to XML files, and direct links to external tools including ADAN, SPICE, and Dasty.
  • InterPro release v18.0 incorporates 16,549 entries, integrating approximately half of the ~58,000 available source signatures.
  • The integrated resource successfully matches and annotates 79.8% of sequence records in UniProtKB release v14.1.
