WIRS Motif Supplement


This is the full list of WIRS motif search of human protein sequences from Swiss-Prot annotated database1. Two WIRS definitions of different stringency were used, as shown below.

Motif Pattern Links to search result
Φ-X-[TS]-F-X-X membrane-associated others
X-X-[TS]-F-X-X membrane-associated others

Note: Φ=[FMWYIL]; X = any amino acid; [FY] was used for the fourth position in actual search.

The found protein sequences (WIRS highlighted in yellow) were subjected to secondary structure predictions by PsiPred2 and SABLE3 using default program settings. Results from PsiPred are color-coded on the sequence, with red for helices, blue for sheets, and prediction scores on top of the sequences. Results from SABLE are labeled below the sequence, with red "H" for helices, blue "E" for sheets, black "C" for random coils, and prediction scores on the bottom.
