ProtIdent swMATH ID: 16647 Software Authors: Kuo-Chen Chou, Hong-Bin Shen Description: ProtIdent: A web server for identifying proteases and their types by fusing functional domain and sequential evolution information. Proteases are vitally important to life cycles and have become a main target in drug development. According to their action mechanisms, proteases are classified into six types: (1) aspartic, (2) cysteine, (3) glutamic, (4) metallo, (5) serine, and (6) threonine. Given the sequence of an uncharacterized protein, can we identify whether it is a protease or non-protease? If it is, what type does it belong to? To address these problems, a 2-layer predictor, called “ProtIdent”, is developed by fusing the functional domain and sequential evolution information: the first layer is for identifying the query protein as protease or non-protease; if it is a protease, the process will automatically go to the second layer to further identify it among the six types. The overall success rates in both cases by rigorous cross-validation tests were higher than 92 Homepage: http://www.csbio.sjtu.edu.cn/bioinf/Protease/ Related Software: Cell-PLoc; Memtype-2L; Signal-CF; GPCR-CA; EzyPred; Euk-mPLoc; Signal-3L; HIVcleave; GPCR-GIA; Euk-PLoc; QuatIdent; Plant-mPLoc; LIBSVM; Virus-ploc; FoldRate; Hum-PLoc; GPCR-2L; iLoc-Euk; iLoc-Hum; iLoc-Virus Cited in: 21 Publications all top 5 Cited by 73 Authors 3 Chou, Kuochen 2 Brahnam, Sheryl 2 Lumini, Alessandra 2 Nanni, Loris 2 Xiao, Xuan 2 Yang, Lianping 2 Zhang, Xiangde 1 Anand, Ashish 1 Anh, Vo V. 1 Araabi, Babak Nadjar 1 Biswas, Neela 1 Dehzangi, Abdollah 1 Deng, Naiyang 1 Ding, Hui 1 Esmaeili, Maryam 1 González Díaz, Humberto 1 Guo, Yanzhi 1 Hoseini, Afsaneh 1 Hoseini, Somayyeh 1 Huang, Dan 1 Huang, Jiangyin 1 Huang, Wei 1 Jahandideh, Mina 1 Jahandideh, Samad 1 Ji, Guoli 1 Jia, Jianhua 1 Jing, Ling 1 Kavousi, Kaveh 1 Li, Jia-Huang 1 Li, Menglong 1 Lin, Hao 1 Liu, Bingxiang 1 Liu, Zi 1 Lyons, James E. 1 Miri Disfani, Fatemeh 1 Mishra, Pooja 1 Mohabatkar, Hassan 1 Mohsenzadeh, Sasan 1 Moosavi-Movahedi, Ali Akbar 1 Moshiri, Behzad 1 Paliwal, Kuldip K. 1 Pandey, Paras Nath 1 Peng, Zhen-Ling 1 Quinn Li, Qingshun 1 Sadeghi, Mehdi 1 Santana, Lourdes 1 Shao, Xiaojian 1 Sharma, Alok 1 Shen, Yingjia 1 Shi, Jianyu 1 Suganthan, Ponnuthurai Nagaratnam 1 Tian, Yingjie 1 Uriarte, Eugenio 1 Vilar, Santiago 1 Wang, Desheng 1 Wang, Jin 1 Wang, Tianming 1 Wang, Yong 1 Wang, Yurong 1 Wu, Lingyun 1 Wu, Xiaohui 1 Wu, Zhicheng 1 Xiao, Rong-quan 1 Yang, Jianyi 1 Yang, Jie 1 Yang, Li 1 Yu, Lezheng 1 Yu, Zuguo 1 Zeng, Yuhong 1 Zhang, Chenyu 1 Zhang, Jianmin 1 Zhang, Ruijie 1 Zhu, Hegui Cited in 2 Serials 20 Journal of Theoretical Biology 1 Computational Biology and Chemistry Cited in 5 Fields 21 Biology and other natural sciences (92-XX) 8 Statistics (62-XX) 8 Computer science (68-XX) 1 Game theory, economics, finance, and other social and behavioral sciences (91-XX) 1 Information and communication theory, circuits (94-XX) Citations by Year
