This database contains information on protein expression in the Drosophila melanogaster brain. It consists of a collection of 3D confocal datasets taken from EYFP expressing protein trap Drosophila lines from the Cambridge Protein Trap project. Currently there are 884 brain scans from 535 protein trap lines in the database. Drosophila protein trap strains were generated by the St Johnston Lab and the Russell Lab at the University of Cambridge, UK. The piggyBac insertion method was used to insert constructs containing splice acceptor and donor sites, StrepII and FLAG affinity purification tags, and an EYFP exon (Venus). Brain images were acquired by Seymour Knowles-Barley, in the Armstrong Lab at the University of Edinburgh. Whole brain mounts were imaged by confocal microscopy, with a background immunohistochemical label added to aid the identification of brain structures. Additional immunohistochemical labeling of the EYFP protein using an anti-GFP antibody was also used in most cases. The trapped protein signal (EYFP / anti-GFP), background signal (NC82 label), and the merged signal can be viewed on the website by using the corresponding channel buttons. In all images the trapped protein / EYFP signal appears green and the background / NC82 channel appears magenta. Original .lsm image files are also available for download.

http://prosite.expasy.org/

Database of protein families and domains that is based on the observation that, while there is a huge number of different proteins, most of them can be grouped, on the basis of similarities in their sequences, into a limited number of families. Proteins or protein domains belonging to a particular family generally share functional attributes and are derived from a common ancestor. It is complemented by ProRule, a collection of rules based on profiles and patterns, which increases the discriminatory power of profiles and patterns by providing additional information about functionally and/or structurally critical amino acids. ScanProsite finds matches of your protein sequences to PROSITE signatures. PROSITE currently contains patterns and profiles specific for more than a thousand protein families or domains. Each of these signatures comes with documentation providing background information on the structure and function of these proteins. The database is available via FTP.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on April 28,2023. An initiative to develop a molecular classification schema that is both clinically and biologically meaningful, based on gene expression and genomic data from tumors (Gliomas) of patients who will be prospectively followed through natural history and treatment phase of their illness. The study will also explore gene expression profiles to determine the responsiveness of the patients and correlate with discrete chromosomal abnormalities. The initiative was designed to obtain a large amount of molecular data on DNA and RNA of freshly collected tumor samples that were collected, processed and analyzed in a standardized fashion to allow for large-scale cross sample analysis. The sample collection is accompanied by careful and prospective clinical data acquisition, allowing a variety of matched molecular and clinical data permitting a wide variety of analyses. GMDI has accrued fresh frozen tumors in the retrospective phase (all from the Henry Ford Hospital, without germline DNA) and fresh frozen tumors in the prospective phase (from a variety of institutions). In addition to characterizing the samples from patients enrolled in GMDI, the microarray group has generated genomic-scale analyses of the many human and canine glioma initiating cells/glioma stem cells (GIC/GSC) lines, as well as many canine and murine normal neural stem cell (NSC) lines produced in laboratory.

http://xin.cz3.nus.edu.sg/group/admeap/admeap.asp

A database for facilitating the search for drug Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion (ADME) associated proteins. It contains information about known drug ADME associated proteins, functions, similarities, substrates / ligands, tissue distributions, and other properties of the targets. Associated references are also included. Drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) often involve interaction of a drug with specific proteins. Knowledge about these ADME-associated proteins is important in facilitating the study of the molecular mechanism of disposition and individual response as well as therapeutic action of drugs. It is also useful in the development and testing of pharmacokinetics prediction tools. Several databases describing specific classes of ADME-associated proteins have appeared. A new database, ADME-associated proteins (ADME-AP), is introduced to provide comprehensive information about all classes of ADME-associated proteins described in the literature including physiological function of each protein, pharmacokinetic effect, ADME classification, direction and driving force of disposition, location and tissue distribution, substrates, synonyms, gene name and protein availability in other species. Cross-links to other databases are also provided to facilitate the access of information about the sequence, 3D structure, function, polymorphisms, genetic disorders, nomenclature, ligand binding properties and related literatures of each protein. ADME-AP currently contains entries for 321 proteins and 964 substrates. ADME Class Based on their respective role of pharmacokinetics, ADME-associated proteins can be classified into four categories: A: This Category includes proteins involved in the absorption or re-absorption of drugs into systemic system. D: This category includes proteins responsible for facilitating the distribution of drugs from the systemic system to the target sites or away from the target sites back to the systemic system. Certain plasma proteins and intracellular binding proteins may alter free drug concentration by acting as drug storage depot. These proteins thus play a regulatory role in drug distribution and they are thus included in Category D. Based on their role in drug distribution, proteins in this category can be further divided into three groups D1, D2, and D3. The first group D1 includes transporters capable of transporting chemicals across membranes of various tissue barriers from the systemic system into the target sites. Blood-brain barrier and placenta barrier are examples of tissue barrier. Proteins in the second group D2 are responsible for transporting drugs back into the systemic system. Proteins in the third group D3 mainly function as drug storage depot. These include ligand binding proteins in plasma and intracellular proteins. M: Proteins in category M are drug-metabolizing enzymes. These enzymes can be further divided into two separate groups M1 and M2, according to whether the corresponding enzymatic reaction is phase I or phase II. E: This category E includes proteins that enable the excretion or presystemic elimination of drugs. Some proteins belong to more than one category: e.g. P-glycoprotein both limits intestinal absorption and excludes drugs from the brain back to the blood. It thus belongs to both Category E and D. For those proteins capable of transporting natural substrates without literature report of interaction with a drug, a postfix potential is attached to their respective classification to indicate that their specific role in ADME is yet to be confirmed. Use of ADME-AP for commercial purposes is not allowed.

http://edwardslab.bmcb.georgetown.edu/ws/peptideMapper/

The PeptideMapper Web-Service provides alignments of peptide sequence alignments to proteins, mRNA, EST, and HTC sequences from Genbank, RefSeq, UniProt, IPI, VEGA, EMBL, and HInvDb. This mapping infrastructure is supported, in part, by the compressed peptide sequence database infrastructure (Edwards, 2007) which enables a fast, suffix-tree based mapping of peptide sequences to gene identifiers and a gene-focused detailed mapping of peptide sequences to source sequence evidence. The PeptideMapper Web-Service can be used interactively or as a web-service using either HTTP or SOAP requests. Results of HTTP requests can be returned in a variety of formats, including XML, JSON, CSV, TSV, or XLS, and in some cases, GFF or BED; results of SOAP requests are returned as SOAP responses. The PeptideMapper Web-Service maps at most 20 peptides with length between 5 and 30 amino-acids in each request. The number of alignments returned, per peptide, gene, and sequence type, is set to 10 by default. The default can be changed on the interactive alignments search form or by using the max web-service parameter.
