UniProt (Universal Protein Resource) is the world's most comprehensive catalogue of information on proteins. It is a central repository of protein sequence and function created by joining the information contained in Swiss-Prot, TrEMBL, and PIR.

Two Different Database Systems

“One of the major benefits of using databases for data storage is for data sharing”

EMBL-EBI

Collaboration between MSD (Sameer Velankar, Phil McNeil) and UniProt (Virginie Mittard, Daniel Barrell) groups

Depends upon

Clean UniProt (UNP) cross references in the DBREF records for each chain (where possible)

Clean taxonomy ids for each PDB chain

Taxonomy for PDB Source and UniProt OS must be the same

IntEnz is the name for the Integrated relational Enzyme database and is the most up-to-date version of the Enzyme Nomenclature. The IntEnz relational database implemented and supported by the EBI is the master copy of the Enzyme Nomenclature data. MSD uses the UniProt accession code(s) mapped to each chain to link to the IntEnz EC number This done directly via the MSD and IntEnz Oracle

EMBL-EBIeFamily

http://www.efamily.org.uk/

The eFamily project is designed to integrate the information contained

in five of the major protein databases.

EMBL-EBI

To integrate the information contained in the five major protein databases.

The member databases (CATH, SCOP, MSD, Interpro, and Pfam) contain information describing protein domains.

For SCOP, CATH and MSD the data is primarily concerned with 3D structures In InterPro and Pfam the focus is mainly on the sequences.

It is often difficult for biologists to navigate from protein sequence to protein structure and back again.

eFamily aims to provide the scientific community with a coherent and rich view of protein families that allow users seamlessly to navigate between the worlds of protein structure and protein sequence, by improved data resources and integration via grid technologies.

Complexity of Mappings

An InterPro entry is a collection of one or more UniProt entries

Unlike PDB concept of CHAIN does not exist in UniProt

UniProt entry is always numbered from 1 to N

PDB SEQRES Residue numbering is from 1 to N

PDB CHAIN (ATOM Records) Residue numbering is not necessarily 1 to N

UniProt to PDB Mapping can be one to many

PDB CHAIN to UniProt Mapping can be one to many

Practical Applications of Database Integration

EMBL-EBI

Mappings Used in Pfam

Pfam now uses UniProt to structure mapping from MSD Search Database

Saves duplication of effort and weeks of compute

Use mapping for annotation of alignments

Domains

SCOP, CATH and Pfam have developed web-services for describing their particular domain families. These services can be queried with a protein identifier, protein accession or PDB identifier.

The databases use the MSD/UniProt mapping to translate between the sequence and structure domains

EMBL-EBI

XML & Web Services

The eFamily project has developed a XML schema to describe:

Domains Annotation Sequence Alignments Structure Alignments

This will be used to provide web-services as part of the eFamily project.

More information about the XML schema is available at -http://www.efamily.org.uk/xml/efamily/documentation/efamily.shtml

We are also developing a perl based API for the eFamily XML which will be available from eFamily site as well as via bio-perl.

The MSD residue-by-residue mapping is made available in XML format based on the eFamily schema.

Future Plans

Integration of IntAct database- IntAct provides a freely available, open source database system and analysis tools for protein interaction data.

http://www.ebi.ac.uk/intact/index.jsp

EMBL-EBI

Makes use of cleaned-up cross-reference & taxonomy data, SEQRES and ATOM/HETATM records from the PDB and the sequence from the UniProt entry to align and map each residue.

Makes connected segments from the PDB ATOM/HETATM records for each chain

These are then aligned against the SEQRES records and all the alignments for the segments are merged to get the SEQRES-ATOM alignment

This enables any unobserved residues to be considered

Residue Mapping Program 1

EMBL-EBI

A similar operation is performed on the UniProt sequence and connected segments from the ATOM/HETATM records to get the UNP-ATOM alignment

The SEQRES-ATOM and UNP-ATOM alignments are then merged to get the final alignment

This is repeated for each chain in the PDB archive (with a UNP cross-reference

The mapping is loaded into the MSD relational database and validated

Residue Mapping Program 2

EMBL-EBI

Integrating data from MSD into CATH

Protocols have been developed for regular imports of a subset of MSD data warehouse into a local CATH database set up in ORACLE 9i

For example, information on the biological unit and on protein-ligand interactions will be integrated to increase functional annotations for CATH domain

families

EMBL-EBI

Two step process of data synchronisation

Data are moved from the MSD search database to the CATH-UCL site using a combination of Oracle Export/Import and SQL*Loader utilities

Subsequent updates in the MSD database are pushed to the CATH site using an incremental replication mechanism.

Data from the CATH site are pushed to the MSD site, using the same two step process

The two databases are synchronised
