NOTES:

ID is the entry name. This is not necessarily the same as the Swiss-Prot ID.

The first part before the underscore relates to the peptide name while the part after the underscore to the organism. Therefore DraGoCidiN from DRAgonis MYthicus becomes DGCN_DRAMY, and CECropin A from DROsophila MElanogaster becomes CECA_DROME.

For more common organisms, the common name e.g. BCT1_BOVIN, C18_RABIT, FA39_HUMAN, PR39_PIG, DEF1_MOUSE is used.

Also indicated are the origin of the entry (STANDARD = Swiss-Prot entry, LOCAL = Trieste entry, SUBMITTED = submitted entry, TRANSLATE = Converted from EMBL/Genbank database entry), the type of sequence (PRT = protein) and the length in AA.

AC is the accession number. Normally the Swiss-Prot accession number is given here as a hyperlink to this database so if you are submitting a new entry leave it empty, unless the sequence is present in a database other than Swiss-Prot (indicate which in parentheses)

DE is the description. All commonly used names for the peptide/protein should be present.

OS is the organism. Where possible, its common name is given in parentheses, as well as some taxonomic information.

DT is the date the sequence was first reported.

RN is the sequential reference number

RP is a comment on the type of information provided, e.g. on the origin of the sequence reported in the reference numbered RN [n], or of the type of information given:

RC is the tissue/strain from which the peptide/protein or respective mRNA/cDNA was extracted (e.g. seed, trachea, bone marrow).

RA Authors or name of person submitting an unpublished sequence.

RL Journal , or SUBMITTED if not published.

CY is the category - one of the following three:

if the sequence is that of a precursor it is indicated by appending PRECURSOR OF

TY is the structure or sequence type - one of the following:

FY is the family (if any) to which the peptide belongs - eg:

ST is the a link to the PDB structure entry

AY is the activity - one of the following:

CC comments on function, similarity to other peptides, post-translational modifications, origin, measured molecular mass etc.

KW are keywords , generally taken directly from the Swiss-Prot entries.

FT contains sequence features (e.g. the position of SIGNAL sequences; of the main CHAIN/PEPTIDE; of DISULPHIDE bridges; of MODified RESidues, such as PYRROLIDONE CARBOXYLIC ACID if present; of any CONFLICTing residues, of C-terminal AMIDATION, etc.)

MW gives the molecular weight of the complete sequence, of pro-peptides and of the mature sequence. Post translational modifications are indicated. For example (SH) indicates cysteines are reduced, whereas (S-S) that disulphide bridges are taken into account
