Hi Michael, You're certainly welcome to add the annotation and point to kinase.com as a temporary reference source - I'm only sorry that I haven't had the chance to go further on that myself. I am hoping to submit a shortish paper on the Drosophlia kinome, which is half-written but hasn't made much progress recently (the human kinome paper is coming out in December, in Science, and is still taking a lot of time, and we're in the middle of the Pharmacia-Pfizer merger, so there are lots of distractions!). I also haven't forgotten that I owe you some time working on the potential of more detailed GO assignments to kinases... BTW the CG10673, annotated as a endopeptidase probably is a kinse: it's a a homolog of human PRPK and yeast Bud32, all of which have weak but detectable similarity to the kinase domain. The other information that I would love to get in flybase and other databases concerns the classification and 'orthology' groups that we have constructed for all kinases: using the sub-family classification, we can often find 1:1 orthologs between genomes, and more often see 1:N mappings which are well curated and much better than most blast-based connections. The family memberships are all available at kinase.com (the human ones will be added on Dec 6), but we can also do work at our end to make the data more palatable. Have there been any discussions with the other model organism databases at trying to link putative orthologs? All the best, -Gerard. -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 9:16 AM Subject: RE: where is the Drosophila file ? Gerard I have downloaded the fasta file of kinase sequences from yr web site. The following genes are not annotated as having the function 'protein kinase' in FlyBase. I wonder if I could add this annotation from your data and, if so, can you give me a suitable way to reference it ?
