Search Post-Translational Modification in UniProt (Deprecated)

Source: R/deprecated_functions.R
rba_uniprot_ptm_search.Rd

This function is Deprecated. Please use rba_uniprot_proteomics_ptm_search instead.
UniProt maps proteomics peptides from different sources to the proteins' sequences. Using this function, you can search for proteomics peptides that has been map to UniProt proteins. You may also refine your search with modifiers such as data_source, peptide etc. See "Arguments section" for more information.

Usage

rba_uniprot_ptm_search(
  accession = NULL,
  ptm = NULL,
  data_source = NULL,
  taxid = NULL,
  upid = NULL,
  peptide = NULL,
  unique = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

accession

Character: (optional) UniProtKB primary or secondary accession(s). You can supply up to 100 accession numbers.

ptm

Character: (optional) Post-translational modification name.

data_source

Character: (optional) Proteomics data source. You can supply up to two values. Use rba_uniprot_proteomics_species() to retrieve the sources currently available for each species and category.

taxid

Numeric: (optional) NIH-NCBI Taxon ID. You can supply up to 20 taxon IDs.

upid

Character: (optional) UniProt Proteome identifier (UPID). You can supply up to 100 UPIDs.

peptide

Character: (optional) Peptide sequence(s). You can supply up to 20 sequences.

unique

Logical: (optional) Filter by peptide uniqueness. If TRUE, return peptides mapping to one protein; if FALSE, return non-unique peptides; if NULL, do not apply this filter.

...

rbioapi option(s). See rba_options's arguments manual for more information on available options.

Value

A list Where each element correspond to a UniProt protein and post-translational modification are organized under the "features" sub-list.

Details

Note that this is a search function. Thus, you are not required to fill every argument; You may use whatever combinations of arguments you see fit for your query.
