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.
Amos Bairoch

Description

The following uncharacterized proteins have been shown [1] to share regions of similarities:

  • Escherichia coli protein cof.
  • Escherichia coli hypothetical protein ybhA.
  • Escherichia coli hypothetical protein yidA.
  • Escherichia coli hypothetical protein yigL and HI0597, the corresponding Haemophilus influenzae protein.
  • Bacillus subtilis hypothetical protein ycsE.
  • Bacillus subtilis hypothetical protein yxeH.
  • Haemophilus influenzae HI0003.
  • Mycoplasma genitalium hypothetical protein MG125.
  • Mycoplasma genitalium hypothetical protein MG263.
  • Mycoplasma genitalium hypothetical protein MG265.
  • Mycoplasma pneumoniae hypothetical protein A05_orf290.
  • Partial hypothetical proteins from Bacillus stearothermophilus and Mycoplasma capricolum.

There are hydrophilic proteins of about 250 to 280 amino acid residues. We have developed two signature patterns for these proteins.
