Protein sequence feature/motif

Protein sequence features include nuclear localisation signals, signal peptides, etc. To make an annotation click on Protein sequence feature or motif on the Quick Links list, and indicate:

  • Gene: the gene that exhibits that protein sequence. See how to add genes
  • Term name: the type of sequence features / motif. All possible options are displayed when you click on the text box. You can request the addition via email.
  • Annotation extensions: available once a term is selected. You can use it to specify the range of residues involved in the format K23-K30.
  • Evidence code: the evidence that supports the present of that feature / motif, which can come from:
    • An experiment (EXP)
    • Sequence similarity with another gene known to have the same feature (ISS). The gene must be in the session. If you want to annotate similarity to a gene from another species, let us know when you submit your curation session.
  • Comment: it's very useful for us if you indicate the figure or table where this interaction comes from.
