A "ball-and-stick" model of the peptide hormone glucagon. With only 29 amino acid residues this molecule is too small to be a protein, but it shows the features of protein chains. Atom colors: carbon -- gray; oxygen -- red; nitrogen -- blue.
Protein Coding Sequences
"Protein-coding" parts [also called "coding sequences" (cds) or "open reading frames" (ORFs)] contain the sequence information needed to create functional protein (polypeptide) chains. Most of the parts classified in this category are protein-coding sequences only -- a few of them, however, also contain ribosome-binding (RBS) sites.
Because protein-coding sequences comprise the largest and most diverse group of parts, the Registry divides them into several sub-categories as given below. (Click the appropriate title below to access the summary page for that sub-category. Available parts are listed on the sub-category page, together with links to background information)
Enzymes
Enymes catalyze biochemical reactions.
Repressors and Activators
These are proteins that bind to control sequences in DNA and either down- or up-regulate the expression of nearby genes. (Some of them do both depending on conditions.) In eukaryotes the term "transcription factor" is often used for such proteins.
Reporter Coding Sequences
These are the basic parts for reporter devices based on fluorescent proteins and other light-generating proteins. (See also the reporter devices that use them.)
Uncategorized Coding Sequences
Some of the proteins do not fall into these categories or have not yet been categorized.
All Protein-Coding Regions
The old table of unsorted Protein Coding Regions plus the table of Reporter Coding Regions (also proteins). Click on the ? for general introductory information about coding regions.
