We are deeply saddened by the passing of Amos Bairoch (1957–2025), the creator of PROSITE. We wish to dedicate our latest paper, published shortly before his death, to him. He will always be a source of inspiration to us.
Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends, and to all those who had the privilege of working with him. Rest in peace, Amos. Your work will live on long after you are gone.

Description

A number of yeast cell wall glycoproteins are characterized by the presence of tandem repeats of a region of 18 to 19 residues [1,2,3]. These proteins are:

  • CCW7 (9 repeats).
  • CCW11 (1 repeat).
  • CWP2 or LPR1.
  • PIR1 or CCW6 (8 repeats).
  • PIR2 or HSP150 (11 repeats).
  • PIR3 or CCW8 (10 repeats).
  • TIR1 or SRP1 (1 repeat) (see <PDOC00596>).
  • TIR2 or SRP2 (1 repeat) (see <PDOC00596>).
  • Hypothetical protein YHR126c (1 repeat).
  • Hypothetical protein YJL160c (4 repeats).

The core region of the repeat is highly conserved and is used here as a signature pattern. We also developed a profile that spans the complete repeat.

Last update:

December 2001 / Text revised; profile added.
