Organelle DB -- a cross-species database of protein localization and function
What you can do:
Search for information on eukaryotic proteins localized to organelles and subcellular structures.
Highlights:
- Organelle DB is a web-accessible relational database presenting a supplemented catalog of organelle-localized proteins and major protein complexes.
- Organelle DB has grown by 20% since 2004 to encompass over 30,000 proteins from 138 eukaryotic organisms. Each protein in Organelle DB is presented with its subcellular localization, primary sequence and a detailed description of its function, as available.
- All records in Organelle DB have been annotated using controlled vocabulary from the Gene Ontology consortium.
- Protein localization data are inherently visual, and Organelle DB is a significant repository of biological images, housing 1500 micrographs of yeast cells carrying stained proteins.
- Organelle View is an extension of Organelle DB for the interactive visualization of organelles and subcellular structures in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
- Organelle View offers a dimensional representation of a yeast cell; users can search Organelle View for proteins of interest, and the organelles housing these proteins will be highlighted in the cell image.
