O-GLYCBASE VERSION-2.0 - A REVISED DATABASE OF O-GLYCOSYLATED PROTEINS

O-GLYCBASE is an updated database of information on glycoproteins and their O-linked glycosylation sites. Entries are compiled and revised f rom the literature, and from the SWISS-PROT database. Entries include information about species, sequence, glycosylation sites and glycan ty pe, O-GLYCBASE is now fully cross-referenced to the SWISS-PROT, PIR, P ROSITE, PDB, EMBL, HSSP LISTA and MIM databases. Compared with version 1.0 the number of entries have increased by 34%. Revision of the O-gl ycan assignment was performed on 20% of the entries. Sequence logos di splaying the acceptor specificity patterns for the GalNAc, mannose and GlcNAc transferases are shown. The O-GLYCBASE database is available t hrough WWW or by anonymous FTP.
