PROSITE is a
Swiss-Prot protein annotation. PROSITE was created in 1988 by Amos Bairoch
, who directed the group for more than 20 years. Since July 2018, the director of PROSITE and Swiss-Prot is Alan Bridge.
PROSITE's uses include identifying possible functions of newly discovered proteins and analysis of known proteins for previously undetermined activity. Properties from well-studied
ExPASy proteomics
analysis servers.
The database ProRule builds on the domain descriptions of PROSITE.posttranslational modification sites or disulfide bonds, to help function determination. These can automatically generate annotation based on PROSITE motifs.
Statistics
As of 26 February 2022[update], release 2022_01 has 1,902 documentation entries, 1,311 patterns, 1,336 profiles, and 1,352 ProRules.
