------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of this bulletin
----------------------
PROSITE is a dictionary of protein sites and patterns. It is a compilation of
sites and patterns found in protein sequences. Some of these patterns have
been published in the literature, but the majority have been developed
specifically to be included in this data collection.
For those of you which are not familiar with the content of PROSITE two sample
pattern entries have been included at the end of this bulletin.
This bulletin will be used to announce new releases, enhancements, application
notes, etc.
Practical details
-----------------
- All mail concerning PROSITE should be sent to the following EARN/BITNET
address: PROSITE@CGECMU51
- I apologize to those of you which will receive this issue of the PROSITE
bulletin in duplicate (or triplicate): the first issue is sent through
the BIONEWS bulletin board on BIOSCI as well as to specific electronic
mail addresses. The next issues will only be sent to those of you which
will subscribe to this bulletin (you can do that by just by replying to
this message). In the future, if the number of people interested in this
bulletin is big enough, it will probably make sense to create a new
BIOSCI bboard specific for PROSITE.

How to get hold of release 4 of PROSITE
---------------------------------------
Release 4 of PROSITE is available, in a printed form, as an EMBL Biocomputing
Technical Document. If you want to receive a copy of it, please send an email
message to the following BITNET/EARN address: RAULFS@EMBL
Note: except to a few beta test sites, release 4 of PROSITE is NOT available
on any computer media.
Release 5 of PROSITE
--------------------
Release 5 will be the first release to be distributed along with the SWISS-
PROT protein sequence data bank. There will be cross-references between SWISS-
PROT and PROSITE. Release 5 will be available in January 1990.
Format of release 5
-------------------
The next news bulletin (to be sent in early December) will describe the exact
format used to stored PROSITE.
Format of the cross-references to PROSITE in SWISS-PROT
-------------------------------------------------------
Starting with release 13 of SWISS-PROT (January 1990) there will be cross-
references in sequence entries to PROSITE patterns. These cross-references
will be implemented using the SWISS-PROT DR (Data bank Reference) line-type.
A sample SWISS-PROT entry with such a cross-reference is shown below.

Two sample PROSITE entries
--------------------------
********************************************
* Endoplasmic reticulum targeting sequence *
********************************************
Proteins that permanently reside in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum
(ER) seem to be distinguished from newly synthesized secretory proteins by the
presence of the C-terminal sequence Lys-Asp-Glu-Leu (KDEL) [1]. It seems that
proteins bearing the KDEL signal are not simply held in the ER, but are
selectively retrieved from a post-ER compartment and returned to their normal
location. In yeast, the ER sorting system recognize the sequence HDEL instead
of KDEL [2]. The currently known ER luminal proteins are listed below.
- Protein disulphide-isomerase (PDI) (which is also known as the beta-subunit
of prolyl 4-hydroxylase, as a component of oligosaccharyl transferase, as
glutathione-insulin transhydrogenase and as a thyroid hormone binding
protein).
- The hsp70 related protein GRP78 (also known as the immunoglobulin heavy
chain binding protein (BiP), and as KAR2, in yeast).
- The hsp90 related protein 'endoplasmin' (also known as GRP94, Erp99, or
Hsp108).
- Calreticulin [3], a calcium-binding protein (also known as calregulin, CRP55
or HACBP).
- The receptor for the plant hormone auxin [4].
-Consensus pattern: (K,H)-D-E-L>
-Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
-Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: cholera toxin A chain precursor,
and a hypothetical phage T4 protein.
-Last update: December 1989 / Text revised.

* Serine proteases, subtilisin family, active sites *
*****************************************************
Subtilisins [1] (EC 3.4.21.14) are bacterial alkaline serine proteases whose
catalytic activity is provided by a charge relay system similar to that of the
trypsin family of serine proteases but which evolved by independent convergent
evolution. The sequence around the catalytic serine and histidine residues are
completely different from that of the analogous residues in the trypsin serine
proteases and can be used as signatures specific to that category of proteases.
The subtilisin family currently includes, in addition to subtilisin, the
following proteases:
- Fungal proteinase K [2].
- Kluyveromyces lactis Kex-1 protease [3] and yeast Kex-2 protease [4].
- Serratia serine protease [5].
- Thermoactinomyces vulgaris thermitase [6].
- Thermus aquaticus aqualysins [7].
- Yarrowia lipolytica alkaline extracellular protease (AEP) [8].
- Yeast protease B [9].
- Bacillus subtilis major intracellular serine protease ISP-1 [10].
- Aspergillus oryzae alkaline proteinase B [11].
-Consensus pattern: G-T-S-x-A-x-P-x2-(A,S,T,V)-G
[S is the active site]
-Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
-Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: NONE.
-Consensus pattern: H-G-T-x2-(A,S,T)-G-x-(I,L,V,A)
[H is the active site]
-Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
-Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: NONE.

Dear Amos, I want to subscribe to the PROSITE bulletin. I also have a question regarding release 13 of the SWISS-PROT - the cross-reference to the PROSITE patterns that you mention will they be only to the SWISS-PROT/NEW or was the complete bank cross-referenced? Thank you, Shoshana Levy ------

If the volume get very high we can vote for a new group. Probably a lot of the bionet readers are interested in these bulletins and do not want to subscribe to one more mailinglist.
