SUBA provides a powerful tool to investigate subcellular localisation in Arabidopsis through the unification of disparate datasets and through the provision of a web accessible interface for the construction of powerful user based queries resulting in a one-stop-shop for protein localisation in this model plant.
SUBA3 houses large scale proteomic and GFP localisation sets from cellular compartments of Arabidopsis. It also contains precompiled bioinformatic predictions for protein subcellular localisations. Protein-protein interaction data allow the search for interacting protein pairs.
Why SUBA?
Subcellular localisation information can contribute towards our understanding of protein function, protein redundancy and of biological inter-relationships. While a variety of technologies are currently employed to determine the sub-cellular location of proteins, much of this information is not available in an integrated manner. In an attempt to get a clearer picture of our experimental data and to more generally understand subcellular partitioning we have brought together various data sources to build SUBA3. The database has a web accessible interface that allows advanced combinatorial queries to be undertaken on the contained data.

Search for or exclude proteins by keywords. A search will be conducted against the literature titles and abstracts in the SUBA database. The
syntax of this search supports extended regular expressions (see this site for
more information). Choosing matches will give you access to the match
syntax of MySQL, e.g. entering +leaf –seed* in the keyword(s) box matches a title/abstract
that contains leaf but that does not contain seed, seeds, or seedling etc.
