3. Protein entry in DEPOD

    Click on the following tabs to see the annotations provided under each tab in DEPOD-2019.

Gene NameGene name is the approved gene symbol from HGNC (HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee). Click the link to see gene name information in HGNC. Click the link "QuickGO" to see Gene Ontology terms and annotations provided by the UniProtKB-GOA group at the EBI.
SynonymsGene synonyms
Protein NameProtein name
Alternative Name(s)Protein names from UniProt annotation
EntrezGene IDGene ID in the EntrezGene database
Comparative ToxicogenomicsLink to the manually curated information about chemical–gene/protein interactions, chemical–disease and gene–disease relationships in CTD database
UniProt AC (Human)Protein entry in the UniProt database (Homo sapiens)
Enzyme ClassEnzyme Commission number (links to the BRENDA database - the main collection of enzyme functional data available to the scientific community.)
Molecular WeightMolecular weight of the protein in Daltons
Protein LengthProtein length (number of amino acids)
Genome BrowsersVisualize the gene in four genome browsers - NCBI, Ensembl, UCSC and 1000Genomes
CrosslinkingAnnotations from 69 external databases
OrthologuesEvolutionary conservation of the protein across different species from Quest for Orthologues (QFO), Genetree and eggNOG (if available) visualized in ProViz
ClassificationFamily-level classification of protein phosphatases. Historical class of the phosphatase and the CATH-based classification as implemented in DEPOD along with the CATH and SCOP IDs
Phosphatase activity statusAnnotations whether the phosphatases are catalytically active or not as reported in Alonso A and Oulido R, 2015, FEBS J. Catalytic signature motifs in protein Tyr-phosphatases (PTPs) are annotated as such.
Phosphonetwork visualizationCytoscape visualization of the phosphatase-substrate-kinase network in a random layout. Protein kinases (purple squares) phosphorylating the protein of interest (blue triangle) and the phosphatases (orange circles) that dephosphorylate it can be visualized here. Nodes are connected via non-directed non-weighted edges. Click on these nodes to get information about that gene from the NCBI-Gene database. Drag and/or scroll the network using your mouse.
Protein DomainProtein domain composition as defined in InterPro (an integrated database of predictive protein "signatures" used for the classification and automatic annotation of proteins and genomes), the SMART database (focuses on signaling domains, uses their own individual models and domain-specific cut-offs to define domain boundaries) and the Pfam database (a large collection of protein families, each represented by multiple sequence alignments and hidden Markov models (HMMs)).
Polypeptide organizationSchematic representation of the Pfam domains within the protein of interest. Click on a domain to see additional information about it in Pfam.
Interactive structure visualizationPDB Structures of proteins as reported in UniProt can be loaded one-by-one using the load button and visualized in Web3DMol.
3D StructureLinks to PDB (experimental structure database); DrugPort (providing an analysis of the structural information available in PDB relating to drug molecules and their protein targets); ModBase and SwissModel (theoretical structure model databases).
Catalytic SiteLink to the Catalytic Site Atlas (CSA) - a database documenting enzyme active sites and catalytic residues in enzymes of 3D structure.
Gene ExpressionLink to the Gene Expression Atlas, which is a semantically enriched database of meta-analysis based summary statistics over a curated subset of ArrayExpress Archive, servicing queries for condition-specific gene expression patterns as well as broader exploratory searches for biologically interesting genes/samples.
DiseasesLink to the OMIM - Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (a comprehensive compendium of human genes and genetic phenotypes focusing on their inter-relationships. It is updated daily, and the entries contain copious links to other genetics resources), DisGeNet (discovery platform containing genes and variants in them associated to human diseases), COSMIC - Catalogue Of Somatic Mutations In Cancer (a comprehensive resource for exploring the impact of somatic mutations in human cancer) and ClinVar (a public archive of reports of the relationships among human variations and phenotypes, with supporting evidence).
Protein-protein Interaction DatabaseLinks to four popular protein-protein interaction databases (BioGRID, STRING, IntAct and MINT). The interacting partners can be easily explored to find potential dephosphorylation interactions and study the phosphatase in a systematic way.
PhosphositesLinks to two major phosphosite databases - PhosphoSitePlus and PhosphoELM - so as to see which sites in the given proteins are experimentally characterized phosphosites and potential kinases in some of these cases.

Catalytic Activity (UniProt annotation)Protein catalytic activities from UniProt annotations
Protein SequenceProtein sequence in FASTA format.
ELM MotifsShort Linear Motifs (SLiMs) occurring in the protein predicted as true positive hots according to the Eukaryotic Linear Motif (ELM) database. The boundaries of the motif instance in that protein along with the general regular expression of the motif is also provided. Click on the motif instance to visualize its conservation using ProViz.
