Dear All I want to search SUMO interacting motif (SIM) in different protein data bases and also in the given protein sequences. Does anyone can provide me the PROSITE AC and/or ID for the SIM motif? I will be grateful if you provide me MATRIX for the SIM motif profile. I do not know much about how to define the amino acid sequence ‘pattern’ for searching the motif in the ‘Prosite’ tool. For an example AP endonuclease contains following consensus pattern D-[ST]-[FY]-[RP]-[KHQ]-x(7,8)-[FYWD]-[ST]-[FYW] (2) What is the meaning of x(7,8) and (2) in the above example. Any literature or article regarding this topic is most welcome. Thank you in advance Raj E.
