A web tool for the prediction of Cell Wall-Anchored Proteins in Gram+ Bacteria. Gram-positive bacteria have surface proteins that are often implicated in virulence. A group of extracellular proteins attached to the cell wall contains an LPXTG-like motif that is target for cleavage and covalent coupling to peptidoglycan by sortase enzymes. A new Hidden Markov Model (HMM), an extension to the HMM model from Litou et al., http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18464329, was developed for predicting the LPXTG and LPXTG-like cell-wall proteins of Gram-positive bacteria. An analysis of 177 completely sequenced genomes has been performed as well. We identified in total 1456 cell-wall proteins, from which 1283 have the LPXTG motif, 39 the NPXTG motif, 53 have the LPXTA and 81 the LAXTG motif.

A web tool, based on a Hidden Markov Model, capable of predicting the transmembrane beta-strands of the gram-negative bacteria outer membrane proteins, and of discriminating such proteins from water-soluble ones when screening large datasets. The model is trained in a discriminative manner, aiming at maximizing the probability of the correct prediction rather than the likelihood of the sequences. The training is performed on a non-redundant database consisting of 16 outer membrane proteins (OMP''s) with their structures known at atomic resolution. We show that we can achieve predictions at least as good comparing with other existing methods, using as input only the amino-acid sequence, without the need of evolutionary information included in multiple alignments. The method is also powerful when used for discrimination purposes, as it can discriminate with a high accuracy the outer membrane proteins from water soluble in large datasets, making it a quite reliable solution for screening entire genomes. This web-server can help you run a discriminating process on any amino-acid sequence and thereafter localize the transmembrane strands and find the topology of the loops.

Database of intrinsic terminators of transcription that is comprized of >2,200,000 bacterial terminators identified from a total of 2036 chromosomes and 1508 plasmids. Information about structural parameters of individual terminators such as sequence, length of stem and loop, mismatches and gaps, U-trail, genomic coordinates and gene name and accession number is available in both tabular form and as a composite figure. Summary statistics for terminator profiles of whole genome can be also obtained. Raw data files for individual genomes can be downloaded (.zip files) for detailed investigations. Data is organized into different tiers such that users can fine-tune their search by entering name of the species, or taxon ID or genomes with a certain number of terminators. To visualize the occurrence of the terminators, an interactive map, with the resolution to single gene level, has been developed.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/taxonomy/
Database for a curated classification and nomenclature that contains the names of all organisms that are represented in the public sequence databases with at least one nucleotide or protein sequence. Data provided encompasses archaea, bacteria, eukaryota, viroids and viruses. The NCBI taxonomy database is not a primary source for taxonomic or phylogenetic information. Furthermore, the database does not follow a single taxonomic treatise but rather attempts to incorporate phylogenetic and taxonomic knowledge from a variety of sources, including the published literature, web-based databases, and the advice of sequence submitters and outside taxonomy experts. Consequently, the NCBI taxonomy database is not a phylogenetic or taxonomic authority and should not be cited as such.

Database that catalogs experimentally verified pathogenicity, virulence and effector genes from fungal, Oomycete and bacterial pathogens, which infect animal, plant, fungal and insect hosts. It is an invaluable resource in the discovery of genes in medically and agronomically important pathogens, which may be potential targets for chemical intervention. In collaboration with the FRAC team, it also includes antifungal compounds and their target genes. Each entry is curated by domain experts and is supported by strong experimental evidence (gene disruption experiments, STM etc), as well as literature references in which the original experiments are described. Each gene is presented with its nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence, as well as a detailed description of the predicted protein's function during the host infection process. To facilitate data interoperability, genes have been annotated using controlled vocabularies and links to external sources (Gene Ontology terms, EC Numbers, NCBI taxonomy, EMBL, PubMed and FRAC).

Database of Bacterial ExoToxins for Human is a database of sequences, structures, interaction networks and analytical results for 229 exotoxins, from 26 different human pathogenic bacterial genus. All toxins are classified into 24 different Toxin classes. The aim of DBETH is to provide a comprehensive database for human pathogenic bacterial exotoxins. DBETH also provides a platform to its users to identify potential exotoxin like sequences through Homology based as well as Non-homology based methods. In homology based approach the users can identify potential exotoxin like sequences either running BLASTp against the toxin sequences or by running HMMER against toxin domains identified by DBETH from human pathogenic bacterial exotoxins. In Non-homology based part DBETH uses a machine learning approach to identify potential exotoxins (Toxin Prediction by Support Vector Machine based approach).

http://db-mml.sjtu.edu.cn/ICEberg/
ICEberg is an integrated database that provides comprehensive information about integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) found in bacteria. ICEs are conjugative self-transmissible elements that can integrate into and excise from a host chromosome. An ICE contains three typical modules, integration and excision, conjugation, and regulation modules, that collectively promote vertical inheritance and periodic lateral gene flow. Many ICEs carry likely virulence determinants, antibiotic-resistant factors and/or genes coding for other beneficial traits. ICEberg offers a unique, highly organized, readily explorable archive of both predicted and experimentally supported ICE-relevant data. It currently contains details of 428 ICEs found in representatives of 124 bacterial species, and a collection of >400 directly related references. A broad range of similarity search, sequence alignment, genome context browser, phylogenetic and other functional analysis tools are readily accessible via ICEberg. ICEberg will facilitate efficient, multidisciplinary and innovative exploration of bacterial ICEs and be of particular interest to researchers in the broad fields of prokaryotic evolution, pathogenesis, biotechnology and metabolism. The ICEberg database will be maintained, updated and improved regularly to ensure its ongoing maximum utility to the research community.

Database and web interface developed to store, update and distribute genome sequence data and gene expression data. ASAP was designed to facilitate ongoing community annotation of genomes and to grow with genome projects as they move from the preliminary data stage through post-sequencing functional analysis. The ASAP database includes multiple genome sequences at various stages of analysis, and gene expression data from preliminary experiments. Use of some of this preliminary data is conditional, and it is the users responsibility to read the data release policy and to verify that any use of specific data obtained through ASAP is consistent with this policy. There are four main routes to viewing the information in ASAP: # a summary page, # a form to query the genome annotations, # a form to query strain collections, and # a form to query the experimental data. Navigational buttons appear on every page allowing users to jump to any of these four points., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.
