Abstract
O-GLYCBASE is a comprehensive database of information on
glycoproteins and their O-linked glycosylation sites. Entries are
compiled and revised from the SWISS-PROT and PIR databases as well
as directly from recently published reports. Nineteen percent of
the entries extracted from the databases needed revision with
respect to O-linked glycosylation. Entries include information
about species, sequence, glycosylation site and glycan type, and
are fully referenced. Sequence logos displaying the acceptor
specificity for the GaINAc transferase are shown. A neural network
method for prediction of mucin type O-glycosylation sites in
mammalian glycoproteins exclusively from the primary sequence is
made available by E-mail or WWW. The O-GLYCBASE database is also
available electronically through our WWW server or by anonymous
FTP.
