Search for proteins

Domain architectures are accessed by providing a protein/gene identifier. The list of descriptors is given below.

img1

Organism : select a Plasmodium species or all of them for a search on a single genome or on all fully sequenced genomes of PlasmoDB.

Protein acc. Number : enter a protein/gene accession number of PlasmoDB. For instance, PF3D7_0906400 or click on the radio button PF3D7_0502000 or PF3D7_0503000 for automatic selection.

Protein Annotation : enter a protein/gene annotation descriptor of PlasmoDB. For instance, words like "cyclin", "kinase binding protein", "unknown function" or click on the radio button VPS11 or ribosomal for automatic selection.

Organism : select a Plasmodium species or all of them for a search on a single genome or on all fully sequenced genomes of PlasmoDB.

Pfam acc. Number : enter a Pfam accession number. For instance: PF08613 or click on the radio button PF00637 or PF00249 for automatic selection.

Pfam description : enter either a Pfam descriptor, a keyword or a domain id. For instance: DEAD or click on the radio button Clathrin or Myb_DNA-binding for automatic selection. You can specify the Pfam text field for your search, “Pfam description” searches in all text data in the Pfam database, “keyword” searches only in keyword fields, and “Domain Id” searches only in domain name fields.

Organism : select a Plasmodium species or all of them for a search on a single genome or on all fully sequenced genomes of PlasmoDB.

Pfam acc. Number : enter at least two Pfam accession numbers. For instance, PF00270,PF13245. Accession numbers are separated by a comma without spaces nor breaklines.

List of Genes

The search (by proteins, domains or domain architectures) provides a list of genes and their domain architectures. For exploring the architectures, click icons in the "Look up" column. For save them in a xls format click on "Save in xls".

img1

Gene Acc Number : genes accession number according to PlasmoDB. Active link to the PlasmoDB website.

Species : Plasmodium organism name

PlasmoDB Annotation : gene annotation provided by PlasmoDB

Predicted architectures : CLADE domain architecture. Domains found also by Pfam are in red, new domains detected by CLADE are in green. Active link to the Pfam website.

Look up : Access to the protein architecture page



Protein architecture

Show details for domain architecture of a given protein.
