     I am looking for examples of protein signal sequences - short (on
the order of 4 amino-acids) patterns of amino-acids which serve as a
signal (so that something particular happens to proteins carrying
them). An example is the KDEL signal (for endoplasmic-reticulum
retention). I am not intrested in large domains (such as zinc fingers,
etc.). If anyone knows of a recent review which covers several of
these, please email me at mlevin@husc8.harvard.edu. Otherwise, I'd be
happy to collect responses from people who know of different ones
(please include either a good reference, or as much info as you can on
the signal, which proteins have it, and what it does). Thanks in
advance.

Point you gopher client at merlot.welch.jhu.edu and select the following:

-->  13. Search Databases at Hopkins (Vectors, Promoters, NRL-3D, EST, OMIM/

 -->  9.  Seqanalref - Sequence Analysis Bibliographic Reference Data Bank <?> 

Now search for - 

signal and data and bank

also try -

signal and database

signal and peptide

signal and amino

signal and protein



This should find you a variety of information.

Similar searches of the Gentools Bibliography may also be helpful -


 -->  14. Search the GenTools Bibliography <?> 


Best of luck,

Dan Jacobson
