PSI Data Management and Reporting:
Expectations, Standards and Utility

NIGMS Expectations
• http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-GM-05-001.html
• “… a database for deposition of information on experimental outcome
data (both successful and unsuccessful).
• “These data include … cDNA cloning, expression vector
construction, protein production and purification, protein
biochemical characterizations, crystallization screening,
synchrotron and NMR data collection, etc.
• “The PSI Research Network centers will be required to provide plans for
the collection, maintenance, and transfer of experimental results
into this central data repository.
• PepcDB… will contain information on these important results and
provide a platform for cross-center data mining to capitalize on the
PSI investment
Protocols vs Results
• General protocols are reported by each PSI Center
in PepcDB
• General protocols have been published in the
literature by several Centers
• However, one of the real values of PepcDB lies in the
detailed experimental trial results for each target
– Which clones were made? (PSI-MR)
– Which constructs yield soluble protein? (which don’t?)
– What are the fermentation conditions? Purification?
– What was the protein yield? The final concentration? The
experimental molecular weight?
– What conditions gave crystals? How many crystal forms?
What was the cryoprotectant? Which conditions led to
diffraction data? To the structure?
TargetDB/PepcDB Data Mining
• TargetDB status is informative, but far more useful would be
data about
– Small scale expression/solubility testing
– Large scale purification yield, concentration, oligomeric state
– Conditions that yielded diffracting crystals

Need to Consider the Future… Now
• How much data are we capturing in our databases
compared to how much we are reporting?
• What will happen to Center data after PSI-2?
• We should ensure that as much as possible of our
Center data is publicly accessible in PepcDB

– etc.
Optional tags
• http://mmcif.pdb.org/sg-data/protprod.html
• PDB-proposed mmCIF-like tags to describe cloning,
expression, purification, crystallization, etc.
• Examples
– _entity_src_gen_pure.protein_concentration
– _entity_src_gen_pure.protein_yield
– _entity_src_gen_pure.protein_oligomeric_state
– _pdbx_buffer_components.name
– _pdbx_buffer_components.conc
– _exptl_crystal_grow.temp
Recommendation
• NYSGXRC plans to further improve our reporting of
trial results in 2008
• We encourage all PSI Centers to utilize the
PepcDB <protocolDetails> or <trialMeasurement>
tags to report as much experimental trial results as
possible in their PepcDB XML updates
