Membrane proteins

Hello! I have what seems like a membrane protein based on DeepTMHMM data, but I've noticed that membrane protein is not a function listed in PhagesDB Gene Lists and it doesn't appear in Phamerator. Should we still call this function? |

Hi Holly, The use of membrane protein has a long history, but currrently, it is not being posted at phagesDB. Instead the data is always available at phamerator.org in the drop down box of each gene and a button selection that shows all membrane proteins in the Genome Map Settings. However, this function is part of the GenBank file and PLEASE include them in your annotations. Best, debbie The historical perspective is that membrane protein (domain) is NOT a function, BUT knowing a gene has a membrane domain may help to identify function is surrounding genes. Hence, the data at Phamerator.org is most helpful! debbie |
