Details

InterPro is a database of protein families, domains and functional sites in which identifiable features found in known proteins can be applied to unknown protein sequences.

Overview

InterPro is a comprehensive database hosted at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) that provides functional analysis of proteins by classifying them into families and predicting the presence of domains and important sites. It integrates predictive protein signatures from multiple partner databases into a unified resource.

Database Components

InterPro integrates signatures from several member databases, including:

  • Pfam: Protein families represented by multiple sequence alignments and hidden Markov models
  • PROSITE: Patterns and profiles for protein families and domains
  • SMART: Identification and annotation of genetically mobile domains
  • PRINTS: Fingerprints for protein sequence classification
  • PANTHER: Protein families classified by function
  • CDD (Conserved Domain Database): Ancient conserved protein domains
  • PIRSF: Hierarchical classification of complete proteins
  • SUPERFAMILY: Structural and functional annotation based on SCOP superfamilies
  • CATH-Gene3D: Protein domain assignments for genomes
  • TIGRFAMs: Protein families based on hidden Markov models
  • HAMAP: High-quality automated annotations of microbial proteins

Features and Applications

InterPro provides:

  • Comprehensive protein annotation
  • Hierarchical classification of proteins
  • Functional and structural insights
  • GO (Gene Ontology) term mappings
  • Pathway associations
  • Taxonomic distribution information
  • Cross-references to other biological databases

Tools and Access

The primary tool for using InterPro signatures is InterProScan, which allows users to scan their protein sequences against all InterPro’s signatures simultaneously. InterPro data can be accessed via:

  • Web interface for interactive browsing and searching
  • Programmatic access via REST API
  • Downloadable datasets in various formats (OBO, OWL, JSON, XML)
  • InterProScan software package for local installation and high-throughput analysis

InterPro is widely used in genome annotation projects, comparative genomics studies, structural biology research, and functional characterization of proteins across all taxonomic groups.
