    OCCURRENCE  

    ARB_IMPORT

     

    DESCRIPTION  

    See NOTES in ´Import Foreign Data(bases)´ for HOWTO reactivate disabled import filters.

    The three filters 'dssp_all.ift', 'dssp_2nd_struct.ift' and 'dssp_sequence.ift' import protein secondary structure information and/or amino acid sequences from DSSP files. In addition, some of the associated information is extracted, too. The following fields are created (see also example below):

    • name: [PDB ID]_[Chain char] (extracted from 'HEADER' and the optional chain character in 'RESIDUE')
    • full_name: [PDB ID] (extracted from 'HEADER') Chain [Chain char] (extracted from the optional chain character in 'RESIDUE'); [Description] (extracted from 'HEADER' and 'COMPND')
    • tax: [Organism description] (extracted from 'SOURCE')
    • author: [Author(s)] (extracted from 'AUTHOR')
    • date: [Date] (extracted from 'HEADER')
    • remark: [Remark] (extracted from headline and 'REFERENCE')
    • ali_[alignment name]/data: [Amino acid sequence or secondary structure] (extracted from 'AA' or 'STRUCTURE')
    • sec_struct: [Secondary structure] (extracted from 'STRUCTURE')

     

    The DSSP code  

    • H = alpha helix
    • B = residue in isolated beta-bridge
    • E = extended strand, participates in beta ladder
    • G = 3-helix (3/10 helix)
    • I = 5-helix (pi helix)
    • T = hydrogen bonded turn
    • S = bend

     

    NOTES  

    • If a protein consists of several chains these are extracted individually and stored as different species.
    • The filter 'dssp_2nd_struct.ift' fills 'ali_[alignment name]/data' with the protein secondary structure and 'dssp_sequence.ift' as well as 'dssp_all.ift' fill it with the amino acid sequence.
    • The field 'sec_struct' is only used by the filter 'dssp_all.ift'.
    • Gaps-characters ('-') are inserted where no secondary structure is present.
    • The DSSP files are first piped through the script 'format_dssp.pl' (in "$ARBHOME/ARB/PERL_SCRIPTS/ARBTOOLS/IFTHELP") to format the files for use with the filters 'dssp_all2.ift2', 'dssp_2nd_struct2.ift2' and 'dssp_sequence2.ift2'.
    • Reference to DSSP can be found in ´Protein Alignments´ in section 'REFERENCES' [2].
