Biophysical Proteome Atlas

Homo sapiens

Sequence-based biophysical predictions for the Human (Homo sapiens) reference proteome, from UniProt UP000005640.

Traditionally, proteins are described in a single static state (a picture). It is now increasingly recognised that many proteins can adopt multiple states and move between these conformational states dynamically (a movie). Even more, not every protein has a well-defined three-dimensional structure, many are partly or fully disordered. These predictions describe backbone and side-chain dynamics, disorder, early folding events, beta-sheet aggregation and phase separation.

About this proteome

Extracted from UniProtKB

Homo sapiens (Homo sapiens sapiens) or modern humans are the only living species of the evolutionary branch of great apes known as hominids. Divergence of early humans from chimpanzees and gorillas is estimated to have occurred between 4 and 8 million years ago. The genus Homo (Homo habilis) appeared in Africa around 2.3 million years ago and shows the first signs of stone tool usage. The exact lineage of Homo species ie: H. habilis/H. ergaster to H. erectus to H. rhodesiensis/H.heidelbergensis to H. sapiens is still hotly disputed. However, continuing evolution and in particular larger brain size and complexity culminates in Homo sapiens. The first anatomically modern humans appear in the fossil record around 200,000 years ago. Modern humans migrated across the globe essentially as hunter-gatherers until around 12,000 years ago when the practice of agriculture and animal domestication enabled large populations to grow leading to the development of civilizations.

What is included

This atlas covers the reviewed entries of this proteome — the manually curated Swiss-Prot section of UniProtKB. That is 13.8% of it. The other 127,090 entries are unreviewed (TrEMBL) and are not included, which is why the count above is smaller than the proteome. You can run the same predictions on any of them yourself in the online predictors.

What do we provide?

Sequence-based predictions that help explain the behaviour of the proteins in the human proteome. Not all of these proteins, or regions of them, have a well-defined three-dimensional structure as available from the PDB; many are dynamic or ambiguous. These predictions give clues as to how such regions behave.

Open the entry list and click a UniProt accession. Each entry page carries:

  • Overview — every prediction on one plot.
  • Interpretation — disorder classified as order, transition or disorder.
  • Values and Statistics — the numbers behind the plots.
  • Sequence — residues coloured by prediction.
  • PSP — phase-separation propensity.
  • Visualization 1D-3D — a 3D model coloured by prediction.
  • Downloads — sequence, predictions and structures.
