Tools like the “UniProt ID mapping” tool or the “Retrieve/ID mapping” feature on the UniProt website can help with this.

Hi Steffen,

I will detail Pardis' information - a while ago, I also needed to classify protein IDs with subcellular locations.

Here are the instructions from Uniprot; it may be browser sensitive - Firefox works for me:

1. first click on

https://www.uniprot.org

You will see on the top margin, "ID mapping".

2. Click on the ID mapping. In the field, that appears, paste your Gene names.

3. Click on "MapIDs". A new page will appear "Tool results" and after completed status message, you will see a long link name.

4. Click on the link and this is where you see "Customize columns" and that is the function that can enable you to opt to see the subcellular location of all the mapped IDs.

Good luck.

Hediye.

Hey Hediye,

thanks so much for your reply!

It all worked until step 3. My ID Mapping shows "no results found".

Did I somehting wrong?

Thanks again and best,

Steffen

Hi Steffen,

Thank you. In the attached screen shot, I see that you are trying to map Genes from Uniprot KB_AC-ID to UniprotKB

Do you have Gene names or Accesion numbersto map to cellular location?

As you may know, Accession numbers are species specific whereas Gene Names are common across species and will map to many many items..

Is the information you are trying to map originally derived from Uniprot fastas?

Thank you Steffen.

Hediye.
