Supplementary to methods and materials

Below, we provide summary of seven datasets (functional TMs SCOP/UniProt-derived, membrane anchors, signal anchors, functional alpha-helices, signal peptides, low-complexity segments) that were used to compute our results. Each summary contains the sequence ids, segment ids, TM positions, TM sequence and the functional motif (when available) of the relevant entries.

  • Summary of functional TMs (UniProt-derived, 3923 entries, 224kB) click here

  • Summary of membrane anchors (378 entries, 19kB) click here

  • Summary of signal anchors (2280 entries, 109kB) click here

  • Summary of functional alpha-helices (17193 entries, 990kB) click here

  • Summary of signal peptides (1664 entries, 83kB) click here

  • Summary of low-complexity segments (577373 entries, 53MB) click here


For use in this work, these datasets have been modified for the suppression of redundancy. Note that cd-hit (options -n 5 -c 1) is to be applied for the removal of sub-strings and repeats of TM helices in each set prior to the computations of the error rates (i.e., true-negative rates & false-positive rates). The final form of the datasets is provided below.

Supplementary to the analysis of the single-spanning membrane proteins

Below, we provide the results of the full-length and TM-only segment for the sequence entries in the disease-related proteins & immune receptors. For details of the entries, refer to "Moore et.al., 2008, Structure, v16, pp991-1001"

All files are compressed (1) by WinRAR, (2) in the ".tar.gz" format and (3) by ".zip"ping.

Supplementary to the analysis of the multi-spanning membrane proteins

Below, we provide the masked pattern/ratio of the 326 TCDB families (2202 protein sequences). In addition, the error rates of the TCDB sequences which are compiled from the BlastP results of the corresponding original/masked/control sequences are also provided. Note that each set of results are computed for the z-score threshold of f=0.84, 1.0, 1.282, 1.645, 1.98 respectively.

  • Mask ratios/pattern and error rates (f=1.0; download)

  • Mask ratios/pattern and error rates (f=1.282; download)

  • Mask ratios/pattern and error rates (f=1.645; download)

  • Mask ratios/pattern and error rates (f=1.98; download)

TMSOC (TM Simple or Complex) program

Below, we provide the program (written as PERL modules) that calculates the complexity, hydrophobicity and z-score of TM segments. The program requires the (1) protein sequence and (2) TM range(s) as inputs.

  • download the program as zip-archive here

For windows OS, we recommend WinRAR for unzipping.
