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.

http://bioinformatics.biol.uoa.gr/LepChorionDB/

A relational database of Lepidoptera chorion proteins. The proteinaceous Lepidopteran chorions are used in our lab, as a model system towards unraveling the routes and rules of formation of natural protective amyloids. Therefore, we constructed LepChorionDB a relational database, containing all Lepidoptera chorion proteins identified to date. Lepidoptera chorion proteins can be classified in two major protein families, A and B. This classification was based on multiple sequence alignments of conserved key residues, in the central domain of, well characterized, silkmoth chorion proteins. These alignments were used to build Hidden Markov Models in order to search various DataBases. This work was a collaboration of the Department of Cell Biology and Biophysics, University of Athens and the Centre of Immunology & Transplantation Biomedical Research Foundation, Academy of Athens.

http://aias.biol.uoa.gr/OMPdb/

A database of Beta-barrel outer membrane proteins from Gram-negative bacteria. The web interface of OMPdb offers the user the ability not only to view the available data, but also to submit advanced queries for text search within the database''s protein entries or run BLAST searches against the database. The most up-to-date version of the database (as well as all past versions) can be downloaded in various formats (flat text, XML format or raw FASTA sequences). For constructing OMPdb, multiple freely accessible resources were combined and a detailed literature search was performed. The classification of OMPdb''s protein entries into families is based mainly on structural and functional criteria. Information included in the database consists of sequence data, as well as annotation for structural characteristics (such as the transmembrane segments), literature references and links to other public databases, features that are unique worldwide. Along with the database, a collection of profile Hidden Markov Models that were shown to be characteristic for Beta-barrel outer membrane proteins was also compiled. This set, when used in combination with our previously developed algorithms (PRED-TMBB, MCMBB and ConBBPRED) will serve as a powerful tool in matters of discrimination and classification of novel Beta-barrel proteins and whole-genome analyses., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

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.

Database that provides access to biological systems and their component genes, proteins, and small molecules, as well as literature describing those biosystems and other related data throughout Entrez. A biosystem, or biological system, is a group of molecules that interact directly or indirectly, where the grouping is relevant to the characterization of living matter. BioSystem records list and categorize components, such as the genes, proteins, and small molecules involved in a biological system. The companion FLink tool, in turn, allows you to input a list of proteins, genes, or small molecules and retrieve a ranked list of biosystems. A number of databases provide diagrams showing the components and products of biological pathways along with corresponding annotations and links to literature. This database was developed as a complementary project to (1) serve as a centralized repository of data; (2) connect the biosystem records with associated literature, molecular, and chemical data throughout the Entrez system; and (3) facilitate computation on biosystems data. The NCBI BioSystems Database currently contains records from several source databases: KEGG, BioCyc (including its Tier 1 EcoCyc and MetaCyc databases, and its Tier 2 databases), Reactome, the National Cancer Institute's Pathway Interaction Database, WikiPathways, and Gene Ontology (GO). It includes several types of records such as pathways, structural complexes, and functional sets, and is desiged to accomodate other record types, such as diseases, as data become available. Through these collaborations, the BioSystems database facilitates access to, and provides the ability to compute on, a wide range of biosystems data. If you are interested in depositing data into the BioSystems database, please contact them.
